NBC DFW – “I congratulate President Obama and his team for this significant accomplishment. I also congratulate President Bush who carried the War on Terror to our enemies and adopted the legal framework for that effort that continues today. The brave work of members of our military, law enforcement and the intelligence community makes all Americans proud. The death of Osama bin Laden is a victory for all who have worked so hard to defend our nation since 9/11. It is also a time to remember once again the victims of terrorist attacks, and the men and women who have given their lives to keep our nation secure. God bless America.” — Alberto Gonzales, former U.S. Attorney General and current Texas Tech University visiting professor in political science

Psychology Today – What I’m referring to, of course, is final-exam week. For my roughly 30 years in higher education, from the beginning of my undergraduate studies at UCLA in Fall 1980 to my graduate studies at the University of Michigan to my current position as a professor at Texas Tech (which I’ve held for the last 14 years), I’ve known nothing but finals at the end of an academic term. I’ve thus been at both ends of the final-exam process and, as I sometimes quip, it’s better to give than to receive!
