A Personal Perspective on Obama’s Pell Grant Infusion (The New York Times)
“As I moderated comments Tuesday on a post about President Obama’s proposal to increase Pell Grant awards, one dispatch stopped my cursor cold,” The New York Times reports. “It read: ‘This is absolutely the right direction and in keeping with my grandfather’s original vision for the program.’ It was signed, ‘Clay Pell’. I reached out to [the late Sen. Claiborne Pell's] grandson, 27, a lieutenant and judge advocate in the United States Coast Guard, to ask a bit more about what his grandfather might have thought of the president’s proposal in his first State of the Union address.”
