I am a retired newspaper reporter and editor; graduated from New York University's Stern School(public relations) in 1964. Served three years in the US Army (Germany and Colorado)in Public Information (1954-57.) Currently Adjutant at the Robert F. Garrison Post 3350, Veterans of Foreign Wars in East Rockaway, New York. I'm new to all this ... found hubpages and have been publishing my old newspaper columns there but I'm illiterate when it comes to computer jargon.

Here's the "Call of Duty 4 All Patches" that was published in December by a very talented and reliable writer. I'm sure you'll appreciate it if you haven't already.

One of the Laurel & Hardy tents. If you like Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, you'll find lots to like on the great site that I found through the Bing Crosby Internet Museum site.

Here's an interesting look at how the social scene has changed over the past several decades by a high school sophomore. She tells how music has become a reflection of a broken society, while it's become cool to speak gutteral language.

A great review of "The Big Night of the Big Year" Feb. 29,1940 when the Academy Awards were presented. It was Hollywood's banner year with the most great movies in one year ever. "Gone With the Wind" won the Oscar, but some others were equally great.

Big Brother seems to be breathing down my neck. I'm probably more paranoid than the next guy, but 1984 and George Orwell had it right. The police, the state of Connecticut and the IRS are all watching me. How about you?

The rich and middle class are always blaming everything on the poor -- and they get away with it because the poor have no one to speak in their behalf; no lobby, no newspapers or magazine, no influence with politicians.

Democrats and Republicans take a different view of what a budget cut really is. When is a cut a cut? When is an increase and increase? And when the GOP and Democrats go head-to-head over whether it's a cut or an increase -- who's right?

Ron Field suggests in the Letters section of the New Tribune that the new Narrows bridge should be called The Bing Crosby Tacoma Narrows Bridge in tribute to the "biggest name in show business and the most well-known person in the world."
