Spitzer: Soundtrack for a resignation.
|

by Chuck Shepherd
Toronto police announced in February that they had arrested the man who had stolen a backhoe with the intention of driving it to a car wash in order to break down a wall and get at the facility’s coin machine. The call to police came from a snow plow that was hot on the backhoe’s heels, with the driver having diverted from his route to chase the thief.

Unsurprisingly, the history of Port as a commodity follows the political turmoil and vicissitudes of the warring nations involved in its trade. With the outbreak of the War of the Spanish Succession in the early 18th century, England simultaneously severed its centuries-old route of commerce with the French wine market and embarked upon more than congenial relations with vineyard-rich Portugal. Several English shipping firms were already established in the city of Oporto—Warre’s, the first, was founded in 1670.

"Six Degrees of Separation” is an easy game for those who have worked in the theater. Eventually, it seems, every actor has worked with somebody who has worked with every other actor. When Liz Hiller died on March 3, 2008 at the age of 82, Buffalo lost an important connection to its theatrical past.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Before you attempt a quantum leap of faith over the yawning abyss, please remove your 500 pounds of defense mechanisms first. Your success in soaring the whole distance will require you to be free of emotional baggage. As long as you fulfill this simple prerequisite, I’m in favor of you risking the transition. It’s about time you summoned more zeal to follow the path with heart, even if that path resumes on the other side of the great divide.

Who needs a press agent when you’ve got the Buffalo News? In their editorial of March 3, 2008 (“Plaza plan improves”), the News continued it’s record of taking a position on an important issue that is not only misleading but also destructive, praising “change” in the Public Bridge Authority’s plan and the Authority itself for “respond[ing] seriously” to “criticisms.” But nothing has changed; especially the sycophantic fawning of this city’s newspaper.
