In her book, Menocal, the R. Selden Rose Professor of Spanish and Portuguese and head of the Whitney Humanities Center, relates the history of Andalucia, Spain from 786 to 1492, a time when three cultures--Judaic, Islamic, and Christian--forged a relatively stable coexistence.

Unite For Sight, a Yale nonprofit organization, is holding an ongoing "Donate Your Eyes" eyeglass drive.

Collection bins are located in Sterling Memorial Library, 120 High St.
Unite For Sight is dedicated to preventing blindness locally and internationally through free community vision screenings, public education about eye disease and the importance of regular eye exams to prevent blindness, a speaker series, and an eyeglass drive.
