Minority report
Dave Berns | Thu, Aug 21, 2008 (midnight)
The e-mail sat in my in-box, an angry bullet fired by a frustrated white man. Minutes before, he’d heard San Diego Union-Tribune columnist Ruben Navarette refer to white Americans as “lazy.”

Be like Bobby
Whether Robert Kennedy would have made a good president is unknowable. All that is certain is that during his campaign he convinced millions of Americans that he was a good man, perhaps a great man.

There’s wind in them thar hills
Dave Berns | Thu, Jul 24, 2008 (midnight)

Oil’s not well
Dave Berns | Thu, Jun 12, 2008 (midnight)
Sales are down. Tips are off. Work is disappearing. The national unemployment rate climbed to 5.5 percent from 5 percent in May, the largest jump in 22 years, with the loss of 49,000 jobs. Longtime Nevadans/immigrants; men/women; young/old—it doesn’t matter. Many sense something is wrong.

Show them the money
Dave Berns | Thu, May 29, 2008 (12:01 a.m.)
There’s always the Duke with his sing-song voice, the miles of attitude that stretched from mesa to mesa and that athletic swagger.
