For weeks, my inbox, Twitter timeline and ears have burned. Readers and colleagues can't stop talking about WC Harlan, a new bar in Remington. The praise has been gushing and unanimous. To them, WC Harlan is a wonder. But there was something else: The bar's owners - Matt Pierce of the local band Big in Japan and writer Lane Harlan - are not interested in publicity and would prefer we not list its address. During a time when bars hire public relations teams to generate buzz via social media and other outlets, WC Harlan would rather find success through solid execution and word-of-mouth marketing.

Judith Horn Harlan, a teacher and co-owner of a Harford County farm she opened to students and families, died of cancer Saturday at Stella Maris Hospice. The Fallston resident was 64. Born Judith Horn in Louisville, Ky., she earned a bachelor's degree in education at the University of Louisville and taught in that city for 16 years. In 1983, after her 1979 marriage to Bill Harlan, she moved to Fallston's Belvedere Farm, a 100-acre vegetable and grain operation that his family had owned since the 1820s.

Give the CBS broadcast team credit for this: Even though the Baltimore Ravens game was a blowout, they never totally lost their focus. Kevin Harlan and Solomon Wilcots tried to generate some enthusiasm at the microphone right up until the end of the broadcast, and that's not easy in a game that was never in doubt after the first Ravens offensive series. Overall, Harlan is a steady play-by-play announcer, and Wilcots generally knows his stuff, particularly when it comes to the passing game and defensive backfield play.

Joseph B. Harlan, a prominent Baltimore attorney and lifelong supporter of lacrosse, died Thursday at Gilchrist Hospice Care after suffering from a brain tumor. He was 66. Born in Roland Park, he graduated from Friends School. He was an excellent lacrosse player and went to the University of Maryland on an athletic scholarship. He then earned a law degree from the University of Baltimore. Mr. Harlan began his career as a prosecutor in the organized crime division of the state's attorney's office and later worked as a deputy director of the federally funded Narcotics Strike Force.

HALLANDALE, Fla. - Trainer John Ward Jr. and his principal owner, John C. Oxley, had a plan last year: focus on the Triple Crown races with top-notch horses and a top-notch crew. Their plan worked to perfection as Monarchos, the robust gray colt, won the Kentucky Derby. This year, with the top Ward-Oxley 3-year-olds sidelined with minor injuries, Oxley went out and bought the horse who may take them to the Derby again. Yesterday, the modestly bred, small colt named Booklet captured the $200,000 Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park for his sixth triumph in seven races.

Many of the Liberty and Victory ships from World War II were scuttled years ago, but thanks to William Harlan, pieces of the historic vessels keep turning up in living rooms across America.The president of Annapolis-based Sub-Sea Artifacts Inc. has spent 20 years turning wooden hatch covers and pulley blocks from the ships into tables, benches and lamps.So far, he has converted 3,000 of the pine hatch covers into furniture. He has 2,000 in storage -- enough to last until retirement.Mr. Harlan, 52, grew up in Indiana, but a scuba-diving expedition in the Great Lakes after college hooked him on the water.

"The Healing," by Gayl Jones. Beacon. 283 pages. $23.Gayl Jones' first novel in 20 years, "The Healing," was, by some accounts, to have been a major literary event. However, two dark clouds hang over it. One is personal, violent and tragic. The other is the literary quality of the book itself.The story begins in the most recent stage of Harlan Truth Eagleton's life as a traveling faith healer. Jones traces that life from the end to beginning, starting with her on the road to a "healing." The reader revisits Harlan's life and the relationships that seemingly accounted for her departure from some of the temptations and distractions of the physical and material world, for more spiritual pursuits.

A leading supplier of laboratory mice and rats will pay the federal government $7.2 million after the Indiana-based company admitted providing genetically defective rodents to the nation's top research institution and submitting false information that hid the problem. The settlement announced yesterday by the U.S. attorney's office in Maryland marks at least the third time in the past decade that Harlan, Sprague, Dawley Inc. of Indianapolis has had to pay costs or damages for research compromised by genetic deficiencies in its widely used rats and mice.

LITTLE GOOD can be said about the legal and moral catastophe known as Plessy v. Ferguson except that it produced a hero, Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan.Harlan, in solitary dissent, delivered a defense of equal justice under law so forceful that even a century later, it rivals the Rev. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech and Brown v. Board of Education itself as a symbol of the true meaning of racial equality.Virtually every first-year law student in America reads Harlan's stirring words: "There is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens; there is no caste here.

Offering a dose of weekly sports media notes while typing with a stiff neck from having turned my head every time another replay of Tom Brady's injury hit the screen: * Kevin Harlan, who called the Ravens opener on CBS, does at least a couple of things that recommend him as a play-by-play man. He regularly mentions blocks by offensive linemen and he alertly notes defensive packages that feature extra defensive backs. Offensive linemen often get mentioned only when they commit penalties or have trouble containing a pass rusher who has just flattened the quarterback.

As the Supreme Court wrestled with race-conscious school assignments in Seattle and Louisville, Ky., in recent days, the justices drew historical figures into the debate. In the most heated bits from the various opinions, each side accused the other of contradicting the objectives of the individuals who laid the groundwork for Brown v. Board of Education. In his opinion, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. quoted Robert L. Carter - the black plaintiffs' attorney in Brown - to support the proposition that the Constitution prohibits school districts from taking race into account in student assignment.

A particularly irascible colleague of mine, upon learning that I was going to offer observations about CBS' first-day coverage of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, assured me it would be the same, old stuff - that there undoubtedly would be examples of how the network would mess it up. I would never acknowledge this to him - and he probably won't know, because he's like family in that he doesn't read this column either - but he was right. Let's start with a rather basic question, asked musically by the Clash so many years ago: Should I stay or should I go?
