"The Worst President in History?" (May 28, 2006) This is the title of an article in the 5/4/06 issue of the magazine Rolling Stone by Sean Wilentz, a professor of American history at Princeton University. In it he includes George W. Bush among the four worst presidents (the "Biggest Failures" he calls them)--the other three are James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, and Herbert Hoover. (Conversely, his "The Greatest Successes" are George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.) I concur that, if not the absolute worst, Bush is certainly one of the worst and give my reasons for this opinion.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life... (Feb. 9, 2006). Uses info developed by life insurance actuaries. Beginning with your present age, you answer 24 questions about your family background, your physical condition, and your life style to predict to what age you might live.
What women in the throes of passion say in various countries. (March 15, 2006). Tells how they react in Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, and the USA.

Everybody hates Wal-Mart... (March 28, 2006). Or do they?
How to tell you've grown old (January 16, 2006). I learned it when women (some near my age) offered me their seat in subway trains in Madrid, Spain, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Santiago, Chile. Also, comments on subway systems that I have ridden in many cities of the world.
