Novel: The Hard Underside of Montana Life. And Grace

The novel unfolds in both the rural and urban settings, with Rene being the crusty embodiment of an older way of life on his beloved Willow Creek ranch. The urban scenes, largely flashbacks, are the haunts of lost boys like Justin, the main character.

The “Slow Boring of Hard Boards”: Why it’s Counterproductive To Cry Fascism

Rather, it is the slow work of building alliances, making hard strategic choices, and staying at it over the long haul.

In today’s America of two nations it seems to me important, if not urgent, that we do less talking about people on the other side of the line and more talking with people on the other side. Admittedly, that’s not easy.

Should Democrats Shut Down the Government?

Among the people I know and with whom I talk, there is a consensus. That consensus is that we face one big problem: Trump. What he is doing is terrible, perhaps irretrievably so. But I have a bit different take on things than most of my liberal friends.

My Reservations About Medically Assisted Dying

Being human has something to do with accepting our limits and finitude, that we aren’t really much in control, or at least as much as we’d like to think. It involves experiencing our shared vulnerability as mortals.

Color me Awed

Yes, autumn is “in the air.” Its beauty, its colors, the feel of it — a kind of exhilarating tonic — quickening your pulse, the daylight shorter but somehow brighter.
