Back in 2011 I wrote a piece entitled If You Believe That Everything in Life That Goes Wrong is Someone Else’s Fault, You’re a Failure, which started with this: A few years back I was involved in an extraordinarily complex business transaction.

The Missed Opportunities: My Thoughts on 9/11
This week is here: it's the week we commemorate the twenty-fifty anniversary of the jihadi attacks of September 11, 2001.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the “Old Stock Colonials”
This is the time of year when we give thanks (well, those of us who know to whom to give thanks) and put a wrap on another liturgical year. It's also the time of year when we commemorate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. One of those who has done so--and deservedly--is Robert F. …
