Part 2: Will government ever get its act together on housing?

Imag­ine you are aware of two com­pa­nies that, over the past few years, have man­aged to record losses of more than $150 bil­lion, with the poten­tial for red ink flow­ing as far as the eye can see. Would you expect to see these com­pa­nies con­tinue to oper­ate and shake down unsus­pect­ing investors for more funds to stay afloat?

More on Castor, Pollux

Last week, we talked about the sci­ence behind the two bright­est stars in the con­stel­la­tion Gem­ini, the Twins. This week, I promised to dis­cuss the ancient story told about Cas­tor and Pol­lux. I do so with some trepidation.

Librarians can assist you around the clock

Losing a local legal legend

It is a cruel trick of chronol­ogy that when we lose those who have been blessed with great longevity, they have no remain­ing con­tem­po­raries to laud their good deeds. Such is the case after the pass­ing on Mon­day of Richard Fire­stone at the age of 98. Born Aug. 7, 1913, Fire­stone first came to Delaware to attend Ohio Wes­leyan Uni­ver­sity. There he met his future wife, Ruth, a pro­lific artist. They were mar­ried in 1936 and Dick headed off to law school at the Uni­ver­sity of Cincin­nati. He was admit­ted to the Ohio bar on Aug. 11, 1939, just weeks prior to the start of World War II.
