War's dirty little secret is that some men love it. I'm trying to unpack why, to look at what it means to be a hero in the context of 21st-century combat.

Without a measureless and perpetual uncertainty the drama of human life would be destroyed.

There are plenty of opportunities for common grounds that we need to explore and strengthen. The Hispanic community has a strong affinity for our relationship with Israel.

My dad's more three-dimensional than Opie Taylor or Richie Cunningham. He even has a temper! He's a real person. But some people are disappointed by that.

If you want to improve your world, then focus your attention on helping others.

The rules are now clear: no one is going to inform you, but it's easier than ever to inform yourself.

To be depressed is to be lonely; to have a friend is to be happy.
