David Rubinger (Photographer)

The June 10, 1967 iconic David Rubinger photo above of three Israeli paratroopers who had reached the Western Wall has very special significance to us. David gave us a signed copy […]

We talked about the moon which made me think about Odysseus who must have spent a lot of time looking at it as he was trying to find his way home. We are trying to find our way out of the energy problem and are looking at the moon again. We talked about nations being […]

BRAVO! BRAVISSIMO! to Beryl Wajsman and the team - including Wednesday Nighters Anthony Philbin, Robert Galbraith, Julius Grey and Brigitte Garceau (the latter we presume is tasked to keep them out of trouble) - of The Metropolitain. The speed with which the concept has become a […]

We congratulate Beryl Wajsman for bringing this account of disgraceful petty bureaucracy to the attention of Suburban readers, the media and the politicians. And applaud Julius Grey’s involvement.

With the horrendous weather forecast in view, we will […]

We are delighted that at the suggestion of Consul General Mary Marshall, U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins will be joining us for (part of) this Wednesday Night’s Salon. Ambassador Wilkins’ visit is particularly timely given that the Republican Primary was held in his native South Carolina on Saturday, however, we understand that he […]

In our time, political life seems to attract far too many mediocrities. When someone of integrity and excellence decides to enter the arena, regardless of party, it is compelling to […]

A bit of dignity
