  24-02-2018 23:07

It’s a testament to the team&r

  There is an old joke about prayer in school. That there will always be such a thing as long as there are pop quizzes in algebra class.The quip is based on a faulty premise. No level of government in the United States has ever banned students praying in school. The U.S. Supreme Court did correctly ban the practice of prayers led, or required, by the state agents who run public education.It is no joke, though, that the latest incident of a mass shooting in an American school has led some people, i

Asked to consider the recent path he has traveled, his expression revealed something about his mindset … not indifference, not nonchalance, not insouciance, not displeasure or disengagement. No, it uncovered an unusual mix of … resolve and tranquility.In a season that was at one juncture barreling toward the first five and none of the sixth and seventh, the veteran Jazz
