  1. Hi Mr. Cammrata--I saw this via Google alerts, so just wanted to let you know we're doing a whole lesson today on this topic, focusing on the amazing "53 hours" article that traces the investigation the authorities did to catch this man, and on the civics questions the whole case raises. Should publish around 1 this afternoon. Thanks for teaching with The Times!--Katherine Schulten, Editor, The Learning Network
