SESAME STREET COMES TO AMERICA
I suppose that the rumblings were first heard sometime in the 1960’s, perhaps in reaction to the decade’s civil rights legislation. The rumblings turned to grumblings in the 1970’s as opponents to busing and then affirmative action became louder and stronger. From then until now......Read More

BARACK OBAMA
Who is Barack Obama? We can readily fill in his life story – raised by a single Mom, then grandparents in Kansas. An excellent public school record earned scholarships to college and law school where he became the editor of Harvard Law Review. After a stint as a civil rights attorney, he......Read More

LOVE THAT PASTRAMI
When I was a kid, I read Mad magazine. My favorite part was the feature labeled “Scenes I’d like to see.” This feature took famous scenes from television programs or the movies and added an additional one, one that could be irreverent, containing a witty retort or something......Read More

FORTY YEARS AGO

New Year Eve 2008
Whenever the hair begins to climb over the ears or a special occasion looms, chances are very good that I will make some time for a trip to Oscar’s Barber Shop in the central business district of the town where I live. With New Years drawing near, the other day I went in for my last......Read More

HURTFUL WORDS
