The boys with their feet on the desks know that the easiest murder case in the world to break is the one somebody tried to get ver...y cute with; the one that really bothers them is the murder somebody only thought of two minutes before he pulled it off.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child's l...ife...But I've often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child's lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Our culture has become something that is completely and utterly in love with its parent.

People on the East Coast regard people west of, say, Philadelphia as either slightly cute or slightly repugnant, alien life forms.... Any show that comes from out of town to New York invariably gets a review which says in effect, "They might like this stuff in Hicksville, but this is the Apple, Kids. This is the eye of God." Californians don't have that kind of arrogance, luckily, because they can't pay attention long enough to finish anything. That's why so many Californians are consultants or producers, and so many people in the East are writers or directors. Never mind that most writers on the best-seller lists couldn't put a well-formed sentence together if you gave them the glue, or that the so-called "serious" writers only write about writers writing stories about writers writing stories, the two coasts are still the cultural power centers of America: books, theater, and art in the East; movies, music, and TV in the West.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Amen.... With that established, let's talk about the death of Seabiscuit the other night. It isn't mawkish to say, there was a racehorse, a horse that gave race fans as much pleasure as any that ever lived and one that will be remembered as long and as warmly.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Oh the nerves, the nerves; the mysteries of this machine called man! Oh the little that unhinges it, poor creatures that we are!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
