Ahlin: Late friend, bridge colleague lived a very simple, noble life

Ahlin: A moment of cultural clarity: Polanski is an old degenerate
Finally, something Americans agree on: Roman Polanski is an old degenerate who should be forced to face the crime he committed – even if facing it comes 32 years after the fact.

Ahlin: Insurance attitudes in ND have changed since 1995
Let’s say that a North Dakota couple named Barbara and Bill have a fight, and he slaps her around. Her face is bruised, and she fears her wrist is broken.

Ahlin: Historic vote for Lutherans essentially a quiet moment
