We took a break for the weekly Weather Report yesterday, so this is a lurch back to part three on the subject of Medical Adventures. We have tried to frame some of the disparate events as a spectrum of medical process involving all sorts of people, from the White House in two Administrations, Dr. Fauci […]

Senator Dianne Feinstein Dead at 90 California governor Gavin Newsom will appoint her … READ MORE We will keep this note short and respectful to the memory of a woman who cut a wide swath through the political chaos of the time in which she lived and served. There is no urgency in recounting her […]

Simi Valley, California, was the local and drove the timing at the splendid Reagan Library with the former President’s jet occupying art of center stage. We will […]

You know how crazy this is. The headlines this morning are filled with news about the Asian Games, the largest ever held with 45 member states sending delegations. These are the ones being conducted with 12,000 athletic competitors at a lotus-shaped mega stadium that can hold 89,000 in Hangzhou. They were opened last Saturday by […]

We had thought about non-compliance, since the summer was fairly pleasant with the dazzling late-afternoon light flooding Big Pink’s placid Patio. A fellow named Mike Nevradakis […]

Sorry to do this to you on an otherwise pleasant morning. The internal discussion that follows would have been in the mid-1990s, during the 104th Congress. It got recycled in 2003, only twenty years ago, and some of it cleaned up only this morning from old notes. It had another title when it first appeared: […]

The United States Senate is the premier legislative body on this planet. They tell us that all the time, and it is worth remembering. Well-dressed members will […]
