Reviews & Essays

I was never a huge fan of the late singer Phoebe Snow, but it was impossible to reach maturity in the 1970s and not know about her. Her first two albums went Gold on the U.S. charts. In January, 1975 her single "Poetry Man" was #5 on the charts and #1 for adult contemporary. She made the cover of Rolling Stone in June of that year. She didn't quite reach th...

As a fan of The Beatles' music with an intense interest in the cultural clashes and evolution in the 1960's I was immediately grabbed by the trailers for Across the Universe.

Romance

Chapter 09 Helen had vanished. There was no phone call to say she'd arrived, in fact no phone call at all over the weekend. It is evidence that I felt so confident about Helen that I was not unduly worried. She may have accompanied her parents on some mercy mission and would phone when she could. However, on Sunday night I phoned Metcalfe's but there was...

I have always been interested in etymology and even took Latin for three years. I hope that these words can help all of us in our writings. Be sure to check out your dictionary for additional usages of...

Reviews & Essays

The debate on whether or not capital punishment is an effective deterrent to crime rages on, more vocally perhaps from those in opposition to it. Does capital punishment work to reduce crime? Texas has had a well deserved reputation for being the leading state in executions of death row inmates, so what better state to examine to find out if the death penalt...

Maryland's Heritage Introduction: This is being written in response to something an anonymous commenter included regarding my story titled "Wife Gets What She wants'. He said he had friends who all referred to Maryland as a 'Yankee State'. I wanted to address that remark. Well I am a Yankee in the 'American' sense, but I'm not precisely a Yankee, and nei...
