...problem with the Red Line is that it lacks dash; its outdoor stops at the southern end of the line are too sterile and ordinary to get away from a suburban sense of blandness.

In Los Angeles, his clowning has drawn some professional criticism but he continues to receive high ratings. Ironically, Snyder has created an image of being relaxed in a news format and aggressive on his talk show...
