“The Post”: another movie about The Washington Post, another movie about Watergate — only this time with Meryl Streep. Meryl Streep was, as expected, exceedingly wonderful in the movie. Unexpectedly, the movie was not about Watergate. I thought for sure if there were ever a time to make ...

Part of our fear is that opioids are new to the suburbs. For decades, heroin has been confined to cities. Suburbanites have remained unphased as heroin and many other types of drugs have been laced into our streets and have broken into our households. With the recent string of deaths pulling us out o...

We all know the general picture plastered inside the minds of some SCV residents: The Rich Kids of West Ranch get into their fancy cars, pull out wallets full of outrageous allowances, and blare pop and rap music that boast the use of prescription drugs.
