• The Joamie Elementary School in Iqaluit burned down today

  Maybe instead of pulling the fire alarm to get out of that exam, you can help future kids be able to pull fire alarm so that the school doesn't burn down (and to get out of exams).

• There's a Place in the World for a Gambler

  If you haven't heard the music of gifted singer/songwriter Dan Fogelberg -- or if you are one of those only familiar with his hits -- buying the newly released CD Full Circle is a gamble that will pay off in spades.

• Appreciating what we've got

  I advocate a little quality time on the 4th of July for a more intellectual meditation. After the partying and fireworks are done, perhaps you might wish to spend a half hour or an hour actually reading one of our founding documents.

• "This Fourth of July Is Yours, Not Mine..."

  While some spend July 4 at parades and fireworks displays, many Americans see reason to mourn, not to celebrate.

• Kurt Russell in Ron Shelton's Dark Blue: Just a Piece

  Dark Blue, a movie about a corrupt, racist L.A. cop at the time of the Rodney King trial, doesn't overcome a melodramatic plot with noble intentions; the melodramatic plot undermines those intentions.
