My VW Cabrio is eight years old. I know because I was standing in the VW dealer’s show room when some one said, “Did you hear about the twin towers?” I didn’t believe it at first. Who would do such a thing? I guess I’d been living in a cave because I’d never heard of Bin Laden. Why was he …

The end of the Kennedy era
I’ve watched with fascination the media’s response to the passing of Ted Kennedy. He’s treated like a demi-god. He was a liar. A womanizer. The stories of his antics with women are legendary as well as documented. Above all, he was a murderer. All his years in the Senate, where he lived like pseudo royalty feigning to care about the …
