From sale to shining sale by Melvin Maddocks Boston
A satirical meditation on consumer society tracing how all life now revolves around sales. The piece contrasts seasonal holy days with year round promotional events, imagines a dream world dominated by shopping, and ends with a hopeful resistance to endless discounts.
Gerald Ford remembered for getting the job done
The piece argues Ford restored trust in the White House by his open forthright approach and presidency after Nixon, noting his pardon of Nixon, the economy recovery, and the brief tenure that left a lasting impression. It cites historians and observers on his short yet impactful term.
