It was a mark of an athlete’s prestige to be on the cover of SI. But there was also the famous Sports Illustrated cover jinx. Ken Griffey, Jr., was among athletes to suffer injury soon after gracing the cover.

What’s striking is the shallowness. The networks love to air reporters wading around in floods, being blown by hurricanes or bundled up in the snow. But the cause of extreme weather — climate change — is rarely explored.

One of the biggest perks of poster marketing is it brings in new people in a way that appealing to the same group over and over again doesn’t.

The Centralia Massacre in 1919 and the Seattle General Strike the same year were examples of radical Wobbly activity in America and the timberland Northwest.

When a rehab doctor had dismissively referred to him as “someone who used to be a writer,” he insisted he still was a writer. Indeed he was. Despite his handicaps, slowly and painfully, he resorted to voice-activated software to complete "Father and Son."

Wine and music are the two art forms I work in and for me they compliment each other.

A better word for us than “mainline” was “sideline.” We had the problem of all established groups, that is, we thought we had no problems and that our future was secure.

Despite the heavy steam wafting out of the crater in the middle of the program, Huskies fans need to know all is not lost.

The takedown of Claudine Gay, the president of Harvard University, is a cultural event of the first order. And the man behind it, conservative journalist and activist Christopher Rufo, lives in deep blue Washington.

One Chinese news outlet traced the beginning of the thinking that Trump might be secretly on China’s side to an interview then-President Trump gave in early 2017 to the Wall Street Journal, in which he repeated what President Xi Jinping had told him that “Korea really used to be part of China.” His words brought cheers among the Chinese.

The Democratic Party must declare that it is an Anti-War Party. Put some youth into this party, perilous as the days and events may seem. In a way, you have been cornered into a dullness and a reactive shape. Push back!

The hostilities riling the world today differ from those of the Cold War in that the adversaries are now more numerous and fractured than during the superpower confrontation.

In Africa, it is some relief to realize that your instincts are stunningly narrow, dulled, blunted, out of touch and barely even yours.

By my count, there are nine organizations currently lacking a permanent key leader at the top, and 16 local organizations with very new leadership. That's a lot to digest.

“If we could incarcerate our way out of the substance use disorder, we could have done that by the amount of people we have arrested and incarcerated over the last 30 years. It hasn’t resulted in an end to this epidemic."
