What the deuce does a “sham marriage” have to do with anything? The subtext of your post is that you hold Hillary’s “sham marriage” against her. What gives you the right to judge anybody else’s marriage anyway? I’ll bet yours was a bad one (if you even had one). If you want to delve into personal dysfunction, then…

That this woman appropriates the name “Princeton Mom” is appalling given her mindlessly cruel ethos. Of course, those years at Princeton were the best and most memorable of her life, so she continues to inhabit them right into her dotage. My mother was that way about a long-foreclosed house we had. The five good…

Those people she called are a bunch of immature, breath-holding babies. Those aren’t men; they’re perennial adolescents, and it’s a pity that they haven’t grown up enough to behave responsibly and decently. They sound very self-centered and confused —- .maybe once they get out in the real world and have to be…

I finally mustered the courage to break off relations with my mother, but not until I was the mother of a child myself. It was her criticism and rejection of my lovely daughter that finally did it. The woman just didn’t love me, but to take that further, she didn’t like me either. Something about me (I probably wasn’t…

My friend told me that the septic tank in his small town collapsed one summer, and it was full of corn.

Malheur of all words! Only a brain besotted with carnal love and religion could produce such a risible masterpiece.

Comfort yourself that you caught him totally with his pants down. Now he’s on the defensive, and he had to go get his wife to shillsplain that she isn’t controlled just because he tells her how to live.

That was the motive for the murder of Bobby Franks by Leopold and Loeb. They wanted to use what they felt was their superior intelligence to commit the perfect crime.

One of my favorite boyfriends was both younger (16 years) and shorter than I (four inches). We had a ball; I couldn’t believe he was pursuing me —- I was 37 and he was 21; both of us broke. He had had a rough childhood —- brutally abused by his father. When he was 14, his father shot him in the chest with a starter…

How sweet is that? (Have to note though “It was a romance seeped in civil service and idealism” —- you mean steeped.) Wofford is an aristocrat of the soul. Many happy returns.

This article had the ring of unadorned truth. This is something that every American needs to read and then set about helping to fix it. It’s one thing to be filthy rich; it’s another to become that way by cheating, bribing, abusing, and lying to the working poor is truly sin.Thank you for the work you do. You are…

Bernie will have his moment in the sun right up to the sour grapes convention.

I hope he backs off on ginning up bitterness, anger and division of the democrats at this point. It’s time to show some sportsmanship and not continue to polarize people; there’s some real personal vitriol out there now toward Hillary, and it is increasing. Hillary will need a lot of support in the battles ahead,…

Marchons, marchons !

How is one to know for certain? “Even” mentally ill people are capable of telling the truth about a traumatic incident. Also, an “actual, certified” psychiatrist is not always the ideal resource for a person; psychologists have their place too, depending upon the person and the problem, and they often work together.…

I was “fortunate” in high school that I was such a nerd that I didn’t get asked out on a single date either my junior or senior year (no prom, Sweet Sixteen Never Been Kissed etc.). My romantic life was 100 percent vicarious. But when I got to college and finally started dating, I almost felt a sense of gratitude that…

Tragic story. Poor guy and his poor wife. The killer probably has family too, devastated by this. The murderer may have had an illegal gun; as many do. I really think we need to go farther then the amendment and start confiscating them. I know I know, that will probably mean civil war, martial law etc. But hotheads…

Horrifying violence against a young girl by a big beefy mesomorph —- this is felony assault and battery in my book. Whatever excuse he makes, this violence should not be tolerated by the American public. If this amok bully had ever laid his hands like that on my daughter, I would have made ruining his life my own…

Aha! You acknowledge that Halberstam was mediocre, and was he ever. Talk about the Common Touch. You can have the rest of your point.

Please get Royko and Breslin out of there —- wayyyy overrated regional writers. And Halberstam must have used researchers and interns for a lot of his stuff. Talese was interesting only because of his subject choices, not because of his own style or persona. How he must have burned over all the attention / adulation…
