In October 2007, Poe scholar Ed Pettit argued in a Philadelphia City Paper cover story that both the legacy and the remains of Edgar Allan Poe should lie in Philadelphia, not Baltimore, the city where the mid-19th-century writer is currently interred. The article ignited a feud between the cities that has been documented in the New York Times and on National Public Radio. The Great Poe Debate between Philadelphia’s Ed Pettit, Jeff Jerome, curator of Baltimore’s Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum, and Paul Lewis, Professor of English at Boston College, seeks to lay to rest once and for all the contentious question of which city can proudly claim Poe as its own.

WASHINGTON - President-elect Barack Obama launched an aggressive campaign yesterday to persuade a skeptical Congress to permit him to spend the second half of the $700 billion financial-industry rescue fund as the Bush White House formally notified lawmakers of Obama's intention to use the money.
Despite a frigid Monday, Philadelphia awoke yesterday to a massive civic buzz with a bounce in its step, and filled with the rare sound of happy people calling sports-talk radio.
