Have you read any good books lately? I have given up rating films as someone always has a different opinion. However, books are another thing. I’m always looking for good books. ā€œTo Kill a Mocking Birdā€ or ā€œThe Yearlingā€ are a couple of books...

Window on the World Column: Make good memories

I hate the Fourth of July, America's birthday, Independence Day and all that. There, I’ve said it. I even said it out loud, as I hummed, alternatively, ā€œStar Spangled Bannerā€ and ā€œWe are the Champions.ā€ Then a wartime mortar comes flying over my head...
