I sent the following note to NPR this evening.

As I drove home last night, I heard you start to relate some of the names and stories belonging to those murdered in Blacksburg. I was shocked when you reached the name Liviu Librescu, and glided right past it without a word about the heroism he displayed. Professor Librescu’s actions provided one of the desperately few bright spots of inspiration in an awful, heartbreaking story; and his example deserves to be talked about, meditated on, and followed. Is NPR somehow embarrassed by such heroic resistance to evil, even when non-violent like Librescu’s?

Way to make me regret signing up as a member just three days earlier, guys.
