Letter: Erwin Chemerinsky is wrong
Erwin Chemerinsky's opinion piece "Trump gag order isn't constitutional" (Sunday, November 22) is wrong and inaccurate. Just as the First Amendment doesn't allow someone to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater, Donald Trump should not be allowed to engage in verbal attacks that endanger the lives of others. We know from recent history that Trump's vitriolic rhetoric is capable of inciting lawlessness and violence from his followers.
THEY’RE MY BLUE JEANS, AND I’LL WEAR THEM IF I WANT TO
Photo by Mnz on Unsplash What? I’m supposed to give up wearing jeans because I’m over 52? A few years ago, I came across a preposterous study conducted by CollectPlus, a UK parcel-delivery service, which asked 2,000 Brits this question: When should people stop wearing jeans? Answer: Age 53. Photo by Varun Gaba on Unsplash This answer struck me as absurd. Even the marketing director at CollectPlus was baffled by the results.
Another “Love Story”
December 2020 marked 50 years since the release of the film “Love Story” in December 1970. This film played a role in the burgeoning romance between me and the astonishing man who became my husband a few months later. I’ll call him Marv. ANOTHER LOVE STORY We waited in a long line outside the theater in chilly Westwood. The air was nothing like the frigid nighttime air that would have enveloped us in Chicago or Boston. But we were in LA, and for LA it was a chilly December night.

Hoffman, along with the events that preceded it.
HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD - “Some Like It Hot”
Philippe Collard, Unsplash.com We’re currently in the middle of a great many “hot” news stories. But let’s step back, take a break from the news, and think about something else. Something funny. How about a film that’s been called “the greatest film comedy ever”? It’s even been judged “the #1 comedy film of all time” by the American Film Institute. And it’s one of my all-time favorites. Countless words have been written about “Some Like It Hot” during the past six decades.
Who Was That Masked Man?
Photo by Tiffany Nguyen on Unsplash If you ever watched “The Lone Ranger,” a TV series that appeared from 1949 to 1957, you probably remember the question that ended every episode: “Who was that masked man?” The Lone Ranger, a Texas Ranger turned vigilante who became a pop-culture hero fighting for truth and justice, wore a mask to obscure his identity.

WAITING FOR A VACCINE
Coronavirus, Photo credit: Obi Onyeador While the world turns to science and medicine to find a vaccine that would make us all safe, I remember a long-ago time when the world faced another deadly disease. And how a vaccine, the result of years of dedicated research, led to the triumphant defeat of that disease. Covid-19 poses a special threat.
A New Role for Scarves
Photo:Matt Seymour I’ve been wearing scarves all my life. In a dusty photo album filled with black-and-white snapshots, there I am at age 8, all dressed up in my winter best, going somewhere on a cold Thanksgiving Day wearing a silk scarf that wasn’t nearly warm enough. My mother probably set the tone for my sister and me.
Celebrated poet Lorna Crozier to visit Bowen
There are so many reasons we should all circle January 12, 2019 on our brand new calendars and come down to Cove Commons to hear Lorna Crozier read from her newest book of poems, God of Shadows. One of those reasons is because Lorna is such an intelligent and spirited reader that it is a privilege to get to spend time with her –but actually that is only the second reason. The first reason is to warm our winter souls with her words.
Socioeconomic benefits of recreational, commercial and subsistence fishing associated with national forests
