What do Robert Redford and a couple of big name universities have in common with Domestic Terrorists? As it so happens, one is hiring them; the other is making movies about them. The movie, entitled “The Company You Keep,” film stars Robert Redford as a former Weather Underground militant hiding his identity from the FBI.…
It’s been called the “Civil Rights” debate of our generation. The Supreme Court’s nine members are once again at the heart of the news, as they discuss two laws that could forever impact the country. Both address gay marriage. At present the Court is hearing arguments on two major cases dealing with this critical issue.…
A few years ago I was in the process of planning my wedding, which unlike most, included an international component. In order for members of my husband’s family to join us, it not only meant packing a suitcase, but securing a tourist visa to enter the United States. For one member of the family–smooth sailing…
I thought I’d take a momentary break from regularly scheduled programming to share with you a book that deeply touched my life; one that I’d encourage you all to read.
