Ins And Outs

Last week, and maybe yet again, our highest institutions of law are under literal siege. When I sit to write the “In and Outs” for the coming year, it is a rambling fantasy and not an act of observation or even statistics. My annual tally goes alphabetically but not consecutively. Trends in Architecture In: We finally have small houses and “glamping” tents to accommodate the occasional gathering or art collection. Also in “container homes,” homes made from shipping containers. Out: We have the large and excessive use of space. Trends in Exercise I love this part of living in Sagg. ... by Marilee Foster

A Dark, Dark Stain

“A Single Day Shakes … One Nation to the Core,” said one front-page headline. As the attack by rioters on the Capitol shook the nation, it also shook this area and this state — hard. As Rob Colarco, the presiding officer of the Suffolk County Legislature, declared: “I watched with shock and horror as the United States Capitol was stormed by rioters today … This deadly attack on a national institution … is an assault on our country and what we stand for.” Governor Andrew Cuomo said: “The cornerstone of our democracy is the peaceful transfer of power. We must ... 11 Jan 2021 by Karl Grossman

The Bars We Miss The Most

Raise your hand if you’ve heard from officialdom recently, “But what can we do to make sure the bars survive the pandemic?” You haven’t, I’d be willing to bet! And, yet, what would our communities be without our gathering places, our sports-viewing emporiums, our “God-I-need-to-sit-back-and-bang-back-a-cold-one-with-a-few-people-who-get-why-this-is-important” lifelines? I have some bona fides in commenting on this topic, having ranked the best bars on the South Fork for four different publications (talk about being typecast!). It is a role I take seriously. I expect I will go to my grave arguing that bars represent the greatest — because, the truest — reflection ... by Tim Motz

The Memoir Of A Slave Who Freed Himself

An African American slave who became known as Venture Smith related the memory of his years in the United States, providing rare insight into the hard life and incredible resourcefulness of such a man in 18th century America. He called his memoir “A Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Venture, a Native of Africa, but Resident Above 60 Years in the United States of America, Related by Himself.” I read his story some years ago and wondered whether it could be taken literally, or whether it was cooked up in Smith’s imagination. My doubts abated when I came across ... by Jim Marquardt

A Conspiracy Of Dunces

Among my friends on Facebook are several who are active supporters of Donald Trump and are ready to defend his presidency to the bitter end (which, thank goodness, is coming soon — or at least I hope so). I have given up trying to reason with them. Sadly, their minds are made up, and there is nothing I or anyone else can do to get them to see reason. Like someone who’s drowning, they will grasp at any branch or life preserver, trying desperately to cling to their wild conspiracies. And for what? Donald Trump does not care for one ... by Phil Keith
