Bonus copy: Reflections

Notre Dame offers international study programs in places from Austria to Australia. Mary C.S. Feilmeyer, a 2001 ND graduate, traveled to Jeusalem in 2000, just before the University put the program on hiatus because of the rising level of violence in the area. In "A Year in Jerusalem," she reflects on her stay and the pull she still feels for the area.

In "Irish Grudges," 1962 Notre Dame graduate Tom Walsh writes about his conversation with Los Angeles Times sportswriter Jim Murray, who talked about his meeting at Notre Dame with Father Ned Joyce, CSC.
