Ellicott's Rock: Surveyor's Footsteps on the 35th Parallel
Working for the State of Georgia in 1811, surveyor and astronomer Andrew Ellicott set his famous rock marking the northeast corner of Georgia, common to North Carolina and South Carolina, on the bank of the Chattooga River on the day after Christmas.
Since that time, has anyone recovered Ellicott’s Rock? For the past 200 years most people have looked in the wrong place. Why? Surveyor and historian Tom Robertson answers those questions today, and in his publication Ellicott’s Rock: Surveyors’ Footsteps on the 35th Parallel, culminating over seven years of searches through dusty archives and beautiful mountain wilderness scenery.

China in 2023: A Year of Living Dangerously
Now that China has emerged from two years of COVID lockdown, what can we expect in 2023 in terms of its domestic priorities and its international relationships, especially with the United States, Russia and the countries of the Asia-Pacific? Will the new leadership that emerged from the 20th Party Congress in October 2022 and the 14th National People’s Congress in March of this year be able to restore its reputation for competent governance? Will the economy again resume its role as one of the engines of global growth or see further slowdown and social unrest? Can China persuade other countries that it is a responsible caretaker of global security and trade norms or will it insist on transforming the rules of engagement? Will 2023 be a return to growth and a steady march toward parity with the United States or a year of living dangerously and risk taking?
