Rising tide of abortion legislation in state legislatures leads me to believe this will be a key issue in 2020 elections

May 6, 2019

From the Editor— It’s become increasingly common to hear presidential candidates’ positions on Roe v Wade dismissed as a non-issue, arguing that it is “settled law.” [1-4] I’ve often questioned the fundamental premise of this debate — for both sides. We’re talking about a Supreme Court Opinion here. The United States Constitution makes it clear that laws come from the legislative branch. This was also covered in an episode of Schoolhouse Rock as well for those who eschew reading ....

February 15, 2019

On almost any scale imaginable, the original motion picture Ben-Hur may appropriately described as epic. A backdrop that includes no less than the advent and crucifiction of Jesus Christ. An intimate friendship turned layering acrimony between two formidable men, Jew and Roman — better understood when viewed as brothers rather than than simply friends. [1] And of course: The chariot race. This year marks the sixtieth anniversary of Ben-Hur, first released in 1959 starring Charleton ....
