A woman was sentenced Friday morning for her role in the car crash deaths of two children. But, she was able to take a plea deal. Julia Drudy, girlfriend of Kenneth Lawson, was sentenced to 60 days in jail for her involvement in the incident that killed Lawson’s 7- and 10-year-old sons Titus and John Wayne. The boys died after the car they were in, driven by Lawson, went into a Cape Coral canal. A good Samaritan and first responders attempted to rescue the boys from the water. For 50 days and...

In 1999, The American Film Institute named Cary Grant the second greatest male screen legend in U.S. movie history, with only Humphrey Bogart topping him. During his lifetime he was already iconic among his peers, with Tony Curtis imitating him to woo Marilyn Monroe in the comedy classic Some Like It Hot (1959). And Grant is still popular today, as his transcending-his-period performances seem timeless after 80+ years, despite his last film being released in 1966, and having died almost 35 ye...

The National Transportation Safety Board announced its intent to hold a public board meeting Feb. 9, 2021 to determine the probable cause of the fatal, Jan. 26, 2020, helicopter crash near Calabasas, California.

Onthebrink Shul was the first pilot to write a book about flying the SR-71. This story comes from his book Sled Driver: Flying the World’s Fastest Jet, first published in 1991, now in its sixth printing. Walter and I had just completed the 100 hours required to attain Mission Ready status in the jet. Ripping across the Arizona deserts 80,000 feet below us, I could already see the coast of California. I was beginning to feel a bit sorry for Walter in the back seat. There he was, with no really...

Historic Manila Hotel, being the oldest in the country, has been tagged with so many endearing monikers, among themThe Grand Dame, The Address of Prestige, and The True Heart of the Philippines. No doubt, the 112-year-old hotel has easily lived up to these names through the years.

While certainly not used for its intended purpose, this improvised carry rig was surprisingly comfortable and effective. The broad shoulder strap made for comfortable carry yet still allowed for a draw sufficiently quick to end the careers of any number of poisonous snakes back in the day. I remember it clearly even today some 35 years later. I pedaled my bike madly through town headed toward the elderly Otasco hardware store, 50 bucks in ones actively smoldering in the pocket of my shorts. T...

What exactly happened in Washington on ‘Black Wednesday’?

“The Great White Hype” is like a runner who leads for the first part of the race and then runs out of gas. It starts out well, as a wicked satire on professional boxing, and then loses its energy, tires of juggling its characters and ends so abruptly at 91 minutes that it feels like the last reel is missing. The premise and the performances deserve better. The film stars Samuel L. Jackson as the Rev. Fred Sultan, the top promoter in professional boxing and a financial charlatan who quiets h...
