The Museum of Science and Industry is lucky to have Wit Ostrenko for president – for the same reason that the Florida Aquarium is fortunate to have Thom Stork as its president/CEO. They both know that to be successful you have to be both an educator and an entrepreneur. The former speaks to the why, [...]
As gas prices continue heading inexorably up, this much seems likely. At some point, the economic hit will be significant, perhaps seismic. Also evident is this: We are preparing for such a scenario as if deferring the day of reckoning is a viable strategy. We have, in effect, an ostrich plan, but there is no [...]
In the scheme of things, it probably won’t warrant more than a footnote in the chronology of saturation news coverage and cable news fixations. But let’s hear it for Bob Costas refusing to pinch hit for CNN’s Larry King last week. The subjects were Natalee Holloway still unfound in Aruba and more postmortems on the [...]

It’s time for the Brits to show more than a stiff upper lip. “Staying here carries with it a [...]
Bernard Goldberg’s latest shot across the bow of liberalism, “100 People Who Are Screwing Up America,” includes many all too familiar names: from Michael Moore and Jerry Springer to Eminem and Maury Povich. They skew and coarsen the culture, contends Goldberg. It’s not that hard a case to make. The challenge had to be narrowing [...]
