Essays on Contemporary Issues from a Local Perspective

Here are some recent writings:

Mike Wallace of '60 Minutes' Interview with the President of Iran (August 16, 2006)
(A far different take on the interview done by Jeff Jacoby demands an even more assertive America vis-a-vis the Mideast and dismisses Wallace as too soft. Did Jeff Jacoby and I see the same interview? One can only wonder at such attitudes which essentially call for Iran's destruction.)

Paul Revere Riders Oppose Illegal Immigrants (August 8, 2006)

Here are some past musings:

A Letter to Massachusetts Supreme Court Justice Margaret Marshall

The Common Sense of Senator Santorum

Property Tax Relief for Boston

Tax Relief

A New Era of Civil Rights-For Men

The Clash of Cultures and National Security

Reverse Racism in the Race for City Council 2005
