Saw this photo on Drudge late last night and thought, “can you imagine being one of those guys doing the clapping?”  I woke up this morning thinking, “Oh my G-d, I am one of those guys!”

The Consequences of Legalization

George Will predicts in his syndicated column this morning that hard drugs — cocaine, methamphetamine, etc. — will be legalized in America.  This is one of the rare times I think Mr. Will is wrong.  I pray he is anyway.

Review: The Architecture of Doom

The first time I heard about the Nazis was in the Spring of 1968 when I was five years old.  It was on the south side of 93rd Street between 5th and Madison Avenues in New York City. An Irish woman who had come to work for my family after my mother died, and whose […]
