71Darien Could Be Paradise
The not-so-sleepy little town of Darien has been dragged through the mud on more than one occasion over the years, but I have a plan to turn it into the world's Paradise. If I were the czar of Darien, its population and property values would skyrocket. This story tells you how!

75Ask Not for Whom the Bell Tolls
It's great to be alive, to breathe fresh air, to hear the robins sing and see the rising sun, to be free, to be part of mankind. Life, despite trials and tribulations, is joyous; it is ethereal, evaporating, sooner or later, into, for the faithful, the heavens.

69Big Banks Are Getting Out of Touch
The banking industry provides an excellent example of the arrogance and anti-consumer philosophy of the giant conglomerates. I am looking for a bank that will treat me like a customer. Is that too much to ask?

It isn't until your brow begins to wrinkle with age that you realize how fast the news of the day becomes history. And, as an ancient expression goes, the older you get the faster the time goes. We were just kids during WW II. To a man, though, we were patriotic, almost jingoistic.

72Newt, Bob: Just Balance the Budget
It would be great folly for Congress -- and the states (which must ratify amendments by a two-thirds vote) -- to clutter up the Constitution with amendments that thoughtlessly change the balance of power that is now finely balanced among the three branches of government.

80The Poor Get Poorer, And Poorer
A few decades ago, songwriter Gus Kahn penned the phrase, "There's nothing surer, the rich get rich and the poor get poorer" as part of the lyrics of "Ain't We Got Fun." The phrase is now just another cliche, but like most cliches, has considerable basis in fact.

74Big Brother Rearing His Ugly Head
It seems Americans are bound and determined to solve the problem of the 21st Century by giving up the hard-earned rights won for us by our forefathers of the past three centuries. If it were put to a vote, would we really cast away our right to privacy?
