On Rutgers basketball, Princeton husband-hunting and Jimmy Kimmel
"What's the second paragraph?" That is my boilerplate response when someone suggests a column idea to me. "Yeah. Right. But where do I go from there?" Not every topic is worth 700 words.

Just a Bad, Sad Week

For the media, which seemed to get it first more than it got it right. And in...Tags: Same-Sex Marriage, Boston Marathon Bombing (2013), Anthony D. Weiner, Mark Sanford, Sports

After a fall from grace, time to consider Lance's rise
At long last, we know what we thought we knew is true. Lance Armstrong did it. The disgraced cycling icon came clean to Oprah about being filthy. We now know, for certain, that he juiced and doped largely throughout his record run of seven Tour de...
