Marc Potzler and Jacob Wickham met as boys in 1988. They were members of a children’s bug club south of Buffalo, having grown up with a fondness for the creeping critters that other people dismissed as pests. Each was an insectophile, a lover of bugs, and this would define who they were for a long time to come.

I’m sick of endless pontificating about body language at debates, who “connects” with voters, who’s polling better with gerbil owners, or any other nonsense that diverts us from discussing crucially import issues.

Mike Watt is a punk rock pioneer. Since 1980, he has challenged the expectations of what punk is and what it ultimately can be. As co-founder of the seminal Minutemen, Watt recorded landmark albums that fused punk, classic rock, and free jazz into songs which seldom passed the two-minute mark.

Okay, maybe I’m trying too hard with this week’s headline. (Nissan used to be known as Datsun in North America.) But the new 2013 Nissan Altima won’t have to try hard at all to woo you over. It’s that good.

It was Indian summer in 1812. As if he looked to the Niagara as he wrote his ode, the poet Keats would memorialize the feeling of Western New York’s outrageous falls just a handful of years later. Still, but for the soldier camps, the newly declared war seemed a long way off to Western New York. Then people in Buffalo, Black Rock, Manchester (Niagara Falls), then Lewiston looked across the river to see that all had changed.
