It recalls Gandhi and Luthuli, notes forced removals, and paints a bus ride as a waking nightmare of denied dreams and limited rights.
The piece argues fans and performers in past eras showed childlike creativity. It cites Lawrence Welk’s self sponsorship and gum venture, plus Orson Welles’ inventive radio effects from a toilet bowl to a cabbage. The tone compares old showbiz ingenuity with modern flashy acts.
A column contrasts Mallory with Alex Keaton from Family Ties, calling Mallory a light hearted, social figure while noting Alex’s sharp business edge. The piece uses familiar TV tropes and invites reader comments to The Brownfield News letters section.
A columnist argues the IRA deduction should be reformed as Congress considers Senate and House tax plans. The piece questions who the middle class truly is, notes relief would vanish for pensioned earners, and suggests limiting the deduction while preserving benefits for non pensioned taxpayers.
