We Shall Not Go Quietly Into the Night
After the shellacking of the Republican Party by the Democrats on November fourth people are asking themselves “what happened?” and “what do we do next?”. The “what happened”was eight years of a lackluster president who enacted the surge about two and half years too late, surrendered on the public relations front, and abandoned the conservative... »
Bob Crane and the burdens of masculinity
When I was writing the story on the mysterious murder of Bob Crane for Court TV’s Crime Library, I was struck by the way aspects of his career and life appear to epitomize certain troubling aspects of manhood. First, there was the television program that made him famous, “Hogan’s Heroes.†It was a TV... »
Bed: a place to rest, sleep, watch TV, read, and listen to audio programs
The Travelodge hotel chain recently took a poll, asking people what they most liked to do in bed. Sex was fourth behind reading, watching TV, and sleeping.

My g-Globe: Intelligent Design in a Nutshell
Last week, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking told a packed audience at Hong Kong’s University of Science and Technology that the late Pope John Paul II once discouraged him from asking too many questions about the origins of the universe. It’s a pity we can’t hear the Pope’s side of the story – but maybe someday... »
