Borrowing from a theme I use over on my other blog, here's a look around the newspapers for some stories about last night's ceremonies.
First, there's Claire Smith's story in the Inquirer, short but nonetheless written with a flourish.
Then there's the Associated Press story by Elizabeth A. Davis, which is also sitting on Philly.com.
In the Knoxville News-Sentinel, the sports page centerpiece by Dan Fleser is about East Tennessee native Andy Landers, including a picture of Landers wearing a tuxedo long before he did so last night.
A notebook by Fleser includes some of the humorous highlights from last night's speeches, and a mention of Mel's "multiple bloggers and a photographer recording his every move through the weekend." We appreciate it, of course, and are glad to reciprocate the mention.
The local CBS affiliate here, WVLT, has some video highlights of last night's speeches as well as other events through the weekend.
And finally, unrelated to the ceremonies but still about women's basketball, News-Sentinel columnist John Adams criticizes the ending of the Tennessee-Connecticut series.
