For 11 years, Howard County officials and some residents have fought to close the jurisdiction's only adult bookstore. They've passed legislation and waged costly legal battles, only to be thwarted time and again. And now, despite a county law designed to force the Ellicott City store to move away from nearby homes or close, the Pack Shack appears poised to prevail again - maintaining its "Adult Video" sign along a busy stretch of U.S. 40, along with shelves of explicit movies, skimpy lingerie and sex toys.

I come to praise Ralph Ellison and to defend his legacy, to say once again that "Invisible Man" is one of the great literary testaments of all time. But now, a fine writer has been wronged. His reputation should have been allowed to stand on what he published in his lifetime."Juneteenth," the novel Ellison sweated and labored over for the better part of 40 years and never completed to his satisfaction, is now in the public domain. He deserves better from the literary trade.Why can't we be satisfied with what our great artists saw fit to give us before their deaths?

Jonathon Scott Fuqua was ready to give up. He'd received more than 30 rejection letters for a book he had devoted a year to writing. "I had bought a bottle of champagne," he says. "I waited for my wife to come home from work. I stacked my manuscripts downstairs on this cement pad by our apartment house and I said, 'We're going to burn these and we're going to change our life. I'm not going to sit here and wait for the mail every day. I'm not going to do that to us,' "says Fuqua. It took an hour of cajoling, negotiating and pleading, but his wife, Julie Lauffenburger, talked him out of it. "I gave him a 'reality punch' and let him know that I know writing is what he's meant to do. Sometimes he doesn't see it as clearly as I do."
