We don’t have to choose between security and accountability. We can do both. We don’t have to accept dysfunction in Washington. And we certainly don’t have to tolerate political games when real people are being affected.

I believe with all my heart that for many of us boomers, the pandemic and its isolation, the separation from kids, grandkids and friends, robbed us of the years we might have eased into older age.

Is this the year of the blue wave? Will it be a modified one or a total rout? Is there any chance of a red wave? Not likely.

Notre Dame, though, went beyond being a defensive religious fortress to making Catholic thought a part of American life, along with full acceptance of other religions, with open debate and finding common ground encouraged.

Since the closure of Mitchel Field in the early 1960s and the transfer of the land to the county, we have had a tremendous opportunity within reach. There have been countless visions for redeveloping the site. For more than six decades, however, proposals have come and gone, and Nassau has not taken full advantage of this remarkable resource.

After a year of this administration, fatigue and noise have made it easier to stop paying close attention to who is actually running the federal government. That’s understandable. The damage rarely arrives with sirens. But it does accumulate, quietly and bureaucratically, in ways that are difficult to reverse once they are finally recognized.
