Raised in Boston, seasoned in California. Public health, social justice, the Appalachian Trail & other nature spots are my favorite hangouts.
Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic deserves high praise for his courage in revealing this scandalous breach of national security by Hegseth and Vance. I'm not a subscriber to The Atlantic but am strongly considering it.

The current ruling party in the U.S. is OK with segregation returning to the workplace. If you were one of those people who thought some of us were overreacting when we were warning you about what was going to happen if Trump was reelected, now would be a good time to rethink that.

Steve Schmidt has outdone himself. Watch his commentary about JFK for inspiration and hope.
I don't think "widow of Laurence Olivier" belongs in the headline. In the article, sure, but she was famous & accomplished on her own.
Sad to learn of the passing of the esteemed Professor Charles Ogletree at age 70 after several years of dealing with Alzheimer's. A brilliant and widely loved man, he generously keynoted a breakfast event spotlighting a project I co-founded and was the director of, the City-Wide Dialogues on Boston's Ethnic & Racial Diversity. He's in the photo here.
Words escape me.
