Denenberg Senate bid faces Flaherty challenge in Pa
In a critical analysis of Pennsylvania politics 44 year old Denenberg seeks the Democratic nomination for the U. S. Senate while Pittsburgh mayor Peter Flaherty runs as an independent Democrat. Denenberg’s Jewish heritage from Philadelphia and lack of party machinery are seen as major handicaps against Flaherty’s popular record. The piece notes Denenberg’s prior role as insurance commissioner and questions his chance to win the nomination or defeat incumbent Richard Schweiker. It also mentions Flaherty’s reputation for cutting taxes and payrolls and his cross party appeal.

Night of the Tuna and other Irish family legends
A memoir style piece recalls family legends from childhood, including the Night of the Tuna, a Tucson trip with a corn flakes habit, a tree-climbing daughter at Fort Belvoir, and a swanky seafood restaurant mishap. It ties these tales to a playful, salty view of family life and Irish heritage, ending with portraits of Big John and a vivid grandmother. The essay blends humor with reflections on lineage, memory, and the lively chaos of kin.

Good natured warriors and a Gaelic family memory
The narrator recalls Jim Bishop McCarthy grandchildren teaching poker for pennies and a father who mixed faith, drink, and family lore. He described an Irish spirit as good natured fighters, moments of humor, a green tin box with $600 for masses and dinners after wakes, and a portrait of a man who valued tradition over propriety.
