 Michael Reagan:
Profaning
the Pulpit - Last Sunday three Democrats showed just how
far they will go to talk their fellow Americans into voting for
their party. They brazenly ascended pulpits in Miami and New
York and told flat-out lies to the congregations assembled there
to worship the Lord. - More...

 Dick Morris: On
Target - No wonder Rudy Giuliani, Ed Koch, Mayor Bloomberg
and Sen. John McCain brought the Republican Convention to its
feet with their stirring pleas to fight terror and re-elect President
Bush.
The speakers all grasped the
essential reality of this year's presidential contest: If the

about domestic policy, Kerry will prevail. - More...

 Harold
Gillam: A Tragic Final Flight; Ketchikan remembers the search
- Harold Gillam was among the boldest of those gutsy pioneer
bush pilots who painted Alaska's early aviation history on an
enormous canvas of rugged and unforgiving wilderness often cradled
in the foulest, most extreme weather on the planet.
Oldtime pilots said that there
were three kinds of Alaska weather: clear and unlimited, called
Pan Am weather; then ordinary weather, and lastly, there was
"Gillam weather." While more prudent pilots sat out
the worst days, the quiet-loner Gillam would shake his head and
say, "The weather's never as bad as it looks." - Read
