A proud tradition at Blues

As the health reform debate winds down, the president and members of his administration continue to attack the health insurance industry.

Not all Irish films as dark, troubling as Lamb suggests

I appreciated the recent column by John Lamb that helped point people in the direction of the lovely, lyrical Irish film “Once,” as well as noting others worth viewing.

It’s not a fight; it’s an act of God
