I woke this morning to a strange and troubling email. It was unsigned, and from an address I don’t recognize, but the message came through clearly. Under the heading of “James T. Hodgkinson” — the shooter Wednesday in Washington — it read, in all caps: “I THINK JAMES IS A HERO. THE REPUBLICANS HATE POOR […]

In my recent op-ed, I examined the possibility of removing President Donald Trump through the 25th Amendment.

However, its editors took the op-ed down because it said it failed to meet that site’s editorial standards. “Although the tone of the piece was intended to be facetious and is based on what many believe to be reality, we were […]

Cuba enjoyed a record year for tourism in 2016 when more than 4 million people found their way to that island nation.

In one of the more biting moments in the 1997 film “Good Will Hunting,” mathematician Gerald Lambeau, played by Stellan Skarsgård, apologizes to his old friend, psychologist Sean Maguire, played by Robin Williams, for having missed the funeral of Sean’s wife. “I got your card,” Sean snapped, not at all disguising his anger.
