According to The Associated Press, the Michigan Democratic Party will allow those participating in their Feb.
I was walking to class the other day, and for some reason, I kept seeing couples everywhere. One pair was on the corner of Shaw Lane and Red Cedar Road giving each other small kisses before they went their separate ways, presumably to class. A couple of months ago, if I were to see this, I would have been disgusted.
Early one day in November, when I was in my first year of graduate school at Columbia University, I attended a breakfast with Dwight D.
On this, the 40th anniversary of President John. F. Kennedy's assassination, we pause to remember the life of a man who left behind a legacy.

I would like to applaud Shawn Wozniak for his column "Life's a bunch of questions; here's some to ponder for a bit" (SN 11/14). It was very thought-provoking, disturbing and touching. We, at the bottom of our heart, know the answers to most of the questions, but we either are afraid to be ridiculed or just give in to the convenience of things.
As humans, we should all have the same basic rights. Sexual orientation shouldn't hold any basis for how people are treated.

Have you ever gotten really angry because you had a problem with some item that you recently purchased and, when you took it back to the place of purchase, you received the bad news that what you thought would be repaired or replaced free-of-charge was not covered in the fine print?Have you discovered that an extended warranty that you paid good money for was actually pretty much worthless?If either of these apply, you are a charter member of the "I didn't read the fine-print club." This club has millions of members, and every company, from Ford Motor Company to Best Buy, relies on the seeming stupidity of the American consumer to pay extra and assume protection when none exists.The interesting thing is that we are a pretty savvy and intelligent population.
