Monday, June 27th, 2005(Photo courtesy of the NY Times) My friend Art Bailey, the crusade director. It’s not easy shouldering the load of a legend’s last anything, but Art carried the weight of Billy Graham’s final American crusade with dignity and class.

Unoriginal
Monday, June 13th, 2005The rivalry between the NY Daily News and NY Post took an unexpected turn today. The papers are bitter competitors with antagonistic politics, publishers that resent each other, and a penchant for headline one-upmanship.

Revisting 9/11 when it’s not an anniversary
Tuesday, May 10th, 2005It happened randomly this evening, but I discovered the New York Time’s 9/11 archive. … Three and a half years later and I felt myself again go numb looking at the images and skimming the articles. 9/11 was a defining day for me on so many levels.
