Letters I might have gotten: Dear Doctor: My husband, Bernard, and I are having a very tough time. We both respect your work and have agreed to submit our problem to you. We will abide by your decision. We both fear for the future of the Republic. We agree that […]

Publisher’s Corner: Campaign finance reform has the ‘old guard’ in a tight spot
There are some things that I really don’t understand about politics, despite the fact that I have been studying the subject my whole life. I mean, on the face of it, it’s pretty obvious. It’s all for sale. Politics is a candy store. When I asked Andrew Cuomo why people […]

Publisher’s Corner: If Dems take State Senate, will they be united?
The race for the New York State Senate is on, big time. It would appear that the Democrats have a fair chance of taking the so-called “upper” house. A lot of the old Republicans are retiring, perhaps because the incumbents see the handwriting on the wall. We all know that […]
