Take a broad perspective when courting the Latino vote

"Today we march tomorrow we vote," read many signs during the nationwide pro-immigration marches of 2006, and during the midterm elections in November, Democrats regained control of both the Senate and House of Representatives. But it is hard to quantify how big of an impact the Latino vote had on the elections given that most exit polls indicated that the war in Iraq was a higher priority than immigration.

‘The Lion King’: Creativity in another dimension

Creative, unique, elegant, artistic and inventive would be understated adjectives when describing “The Lion King.” The phrase “pushing the envelope” must have been created for it. Here is theatre never seen before, a production where the star is the director, who uses her abilities to bring to the stage an experience that unfolds as a story most are familiar with, but with out-of-the-box imagination.

Suggestions help prepare for Easter

Easter is the most important day of the year for Christians, and it arrives relatively late this year: April 20. However, it is preceded by the preparatory season of Lent, which begins on March 5 for most Christians (and March 3 for those following the traditional Eastern Orthodox calendar).

The Founding Fathers and classical education

One of my pet peeves is how people often call forth the condemnation of the Founding Fathers upon modern-day America, as if the men who founded our nation were demigods, filled with a divine moral soundness and evangelical wisdom formed by the deeply puritanical society of colonial times. The leaders who shaped our nation’s path would shrink in shock at our modern political idolatry. They would insist we take them out of the temple of worship and instead see them as human beings, as people with flaws and prejudices shaped by the culture of their time.

An Italian-style spaghetti squash

A couple of weeks ago, my son Leo broke his arm on the basketball court. We stayed close to home for a few days, so we needed the sort of food that would warm us inside. This recipe did the trick. Because spaghetti squash keeps for about two months, I didn't have to go farther than my pantry for my vegetables.

‘God Of Carnage’ is a creative, chaotic ride

The audience is in for quite a ride with the 2009 Tony Award winning play “God Of Carnage” by prolific French playwright Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton and directed by Rick Lombardo. There is nothing to do but fasten your seat belt because it is going to be a bumpy ride with the air bags popping all over the place. Picture Virginia Wolfe paired with Godzilla Eats Manhattan and you have what plays out in this comedy, which has been translated into 35 languages and performed around the world.
