October 15, 2009 After voting to convict Martha Stewart on obstruction of justice charges, one juror told reporters that he believed the decision was a victory for the little guys.

Might it be possible that in the seemingly endless wake of highly publicized corporate scandalsEnron, Worldc... (read more) Author: Sam Cadbury

"Babyboomers don't read Sherlock Holmes stuff anymore," I thought. With some hesitation I purchased The Hound of the Baskervilles and read it over the weekend.

First, Sherlock's cruelty toward Watson is tasteless; not t... (read more) Author: marciano guerrero
