In this classic scene he finds a way of getting Opie and his friends (and of course Barney, too) interested in studying American history.

These days there’s a lot of pressure on kids to get into the best schools – exams and not just one, grades, portfolios, recommendations, school tours, weekend sleepovers at the college, and the interview.

From The New Yorker 's November 23 profile on Glenn Beck: If you sensed something of a quiet spell about ten days ago, a lull in the usual media storm, it may have been owing to the fact that Glenn Beck, the energetically hateful, truth-twisting radio and Fox News Channel talk-show host, was absent from the airwaves for a week, to have his appendix removed. A few days after his surgery, he made it...

I liked Andy Griffith a lot before I ever saw his TV show. First I heard his recordings.

SALLY AND SAINT ANNE is a movie I loved watching on TV when I was growing up. Since then it seems to have disappeared from the airwaves. I've been looking for it this year and tonight I was able to see it again for the first time in decades. It's the movie equivalent of comfort food -- nothing notably special, but the boisterous O'Moyne family are good company. Watching the film again, I could see...

Paul Greenberg: Worried about trying the ringleader of the 9/11 terrorists and four of his close associates in a civilian courtroom? Don't be, says our president. He knows just how the trial will turn out -- Khalid Sheik Mohammed will be convicted and executed. We have his word on it. He makes the trial sound like just a formality.

Have you seen ASU’s non-conference basketball schedule? If not, don’t feel bad, I hadn’t had a great chance to familiarize myself with the Sun Devil’s early season opponents either until this morning. I knew they started off with two “tuneup” games against Western Illinois and Texas State, both blowout victories, but it wasn’t until I heard [...]
