During the last week or so, I’ve been having a dialogue with some of my Commerce friends about why it is, exactly, that none of us would ever want to leave Commerce. Is there an “exactly?” Can we really pin it down? We’ve been finding it fun to try.

I actually think there’s a mystery here: something ineffable about Commerce that goes far back and down deep, a history or a quality that’s at the very heart of the place, and that we may never uncover. Whatever it is, it’s been around for quite a while. I remember being puzzled, 60 years ago, about my mother’s seemingly chronic homesickness for Commerce. She believed in going where her husband’s work took him, so she did her very best to bloom where she was planted, and over the course of 40 years she blossomed and put down roots in that Yankee soil. But it was always clear to me – and pretty puzzling – that in leaving this particular small Southern town for what I saw as the glamour and excitement of New York, she had made a huge sacrifice. And there was never any question as to where she and Dad would retire. He had promised to bring her home, and he finally did. Interestingly, he was happy here too — happier than he had dared to hope. It became his hometown as well as hers!

According to the incident report, the girl was spending the night with a friend, awakened at around 1 a.m. and went to the bathroom, but as she opened the door, a black male pulled her in, pushed her to the floor and raped her.

The incident came to light the next day when a 23-year-old white male in the girl’s residence noticed that the victim had not come out of her room all day. He asked her what was wrong, and she recounted the events of the previous night.

The report said the girl was afraid to scream for help during the incident, and the next day was afraid to tell anyone what happened.

The police have the name of the suspect, as well as physical evidence of the assault, the report indicated. Initial attempts to locate the man — whose name is known — proved futile, but the case has been turned over to police detectives.

My sister recently commented that she didn’t see why she couldn’t have a normal dog like everybody else. I turned around and looked in the back seat, where her abnormal dog lay facing forward and looking up at me with one mournful eye, as if to say, ‘See what I have to put up with?’

“Other people have normal dogs,” my sister continued. “They do normal dog-things. You know.” I didn’t know, but I supposed she meant bringing the newspaper in (back when newspapers were delivered right to people’s driveways), or fetching someone’s pipe and slippers — which wouldn’t be of much use to Emily. She doesn’t smoke anything, ever, and as our brother points out, she wears heels all the time. “She even wears heels with her pajamas,” he said. And it’s true. So no dog of hers is likely to be fetching slippers.

Last week, a study was released showing that the average college graduate accepting a diploma has $20,000 in student debt and just a 50-50 chance of finding full-time employment. Total student debt is rapidly increasing, in no small part to the proliferation of for-profit schools with high tuition and low graduation rates, but also because the recession has affected parents’ ability to fund their children’s education and tuitions have gone up in response to recession-induced cuts in funding to higher education.
