Meet the candidate (or not)
My route home from work, which is considerably different from my ride downtown in the morning, goes by a political candidate's house. On a few occasions, I have seen this person out front coming or going. I have tried to imagine what I might call…

This week at Expo 74: Van Cliburn 2
www.npr.org OK, I know perfectly well that the photo is of Jerry Lee Lewis, not Van Cliburn. But admit it. Weren't you kind of excited for just a second when you thought you had caught me in a goof-up of that magnitude? If memory serves,…
