...Chicago Sun-Times and then as a columnist with Rowland Evans. When Evans died, he carried on alone. He was a pioneer in the pundit business, inventing Capital Gang on CNN, which spawned plenty of copycats. He could be a grouch on camera, but in private he was far kinder than his television persona. He was also the hardest-working man in show biz, just in terms of output - columns, newsletters and TV shows. Nearly every day of the past year, as he wrestled with cancer, I have thought of him when analyzing the present state of politics, and often...
...recent Veggie Day on May 21. While most restaurants owners and residents I spoke to had heard of Veggie Day, few had any plans to embrace the concept. A local rib shack, Amadeus, was doing brisk business, and many people openly ate hot dogs on the street.

Nevertheless, the charges sting. The zoo says it is undertaking temporary measures to improve Susi's living conditions, nearly doubling the space dedicated to elephants and replacing the concrete floors with dirt, which is kinder to elephants' sensitive feet. It has also been actively searching for a new companion for Susi since Alicia died. "That's not a solution," replies Garcia about the improvement plans. "[The current condition of the elephant quarters] just makes things worse for another elephant...
...kinder and gentler era, universities sought—as many of this region’s more ancient preparatory schools still ostensibly do—to educate not only the mind but also the “whole person.” For, in those days, Harvard and others cared not so much that their graduates were successful at their chosen professions as that they were decent, upstanding, and honorable gentlemen who would not bring shame upon their almae matres by their ill conduct...
