We don’t have to be one percenters, billionaires, or oligarchs, to be arrogant. Yes, they are over the top. It’s easy to look at Elon Musk and see his arrogance, putting thousands of satellites into space because he can, with no thought to how that will affect the planet, planning…

This Christmas and Solstice and Kwanzaa week, a week of joy for many, a week of crisis for others, I decided to share with you a very personal poem that I wrote before moving and selling my house of 38 years, this past summer. My friend, Rita, had suggested that…

For decades, I’d held THE STORY and treasured it. I had tried writing it down, but didn’t have a good format for it. It wasn’t the story that a magazine might print. At least not any magazine that I knew of. It wasn’t the sort of story that I’d tell…

Opinion by Sondra Singer I spent over 30 years selling radio advertising and/or managing a radio sales staff, followed by 4–1/2 years selling corporate support for a PBS TV station and an NPR-affiliated radio station. While I was a manager, I worked for the Disney family, and believe me, they…
