More letters, May 19

Editor’s note: Last Sunday’s guest column by local writer, past political candidate and actor (“G.I. Joe: Retaliation”) Augustus Cho drew a strong response from beach-music fans. Cho wrote about his attempts to contact a Triangle shag club, the lack of diversity he saw on the club’s website and wrote “’Beach music’ and ‘Shagging’ (have) become synonymous (read: code words) for ‘Whites Only.’” (He also mentioned a Durham club that he said welcomed anybody but appeared to be an exception.)

Your letters, May 12

I found the commentary by JoAnna Barnes to be very enlightening (CHN, April 20, bit.ly/175zvhR). As the parent of a high school sophomore, I’ve found the process of course selection to be very confusing, the course catalog to be misguided. Published: May. 11, 2013 7:00 PM | Full story
