In a New York Times opinion piece, former CBS News anchor woman Katie Couric is lamenting the departure of current anchor Norah O’Donnell from the anchor chair after the November election. CBS News has announced she will be replaced by two men, John Dickerson a long time CBS News correspondent and analyst who has worked

In the summer of 1964, I was getting ready for my first year of high school. It’s a significant event in every kid’s life. New school. New building to navigate. New friends to make. Nervous about being accepted. Teachers who are going to be tougher than those you left behind in elementary school. I walked

I’m staying in, I’m staying in, I’m staying in, I’m out. The crisis the Democratic Party and Joe Biden created going into this critical election was a mistake of historical propositions. It’s never happened before and was entirely preventable. When Lyndon Johnson dropped his possible re-election bid in March 1968, he could see the crush

As shocking as the attempted assassination of Donald Trump is, the violent images of his political discourse raised over the years have burst into flames. We will soon find out what the motives were of the twenty-year old with the high power rifle. He most likely should never have been able to get his hands

June is Supreme Court season, and we should be very worried. All the big case decisions come at the end of June when the term ends and the justices get three month off and we have to live with what they’ve done. So far, we’ve gotten the ridiculous bump stock decision. You’ll recall the concert

I found it odd that former colleague and friend Rob Feldman didn’t respond to an invitation to lunch. We had started having occasional lunches with our friend Tom Kranz. We all worked together at WCAU-TV back in the eighties. Tom had reconnected with Rob. I hadn’t seen Rob in forty years. After no response for

They have been called “the Golden Years”. They even made a successful TV show about them. A new version is coming back by the way. Let’s talk about the seventies. They come after the sixties when many of us are finishing up our careers and looking forward to retirement, travel, grandkids, no money worries, if

One of the most important and consequential trials in American history is now under way in New York City. A former president is on trial for making payments to a porn star to keep quiet about an alleged affair and then falsifying business records to cover it up. The general pubic will not be allowed
