NEarly three years ago, I started working on a book idea. It started with a rather benign proposal. “We’re in a class war, but it’s a strange war because one side is strangely shy.” Once upon a time, the capital class was in power. In the past, a library and vast grounds were built here. Previously, I would tell them that I thought it was good and why. Now they are like ghosts because on one side they are billionaires and on the other side they are other people. They may talk about their ideas in Ted Talks and Davos,…

As we head into Week 11, I have no idea how the Kansas City Chiefs are still undefeated, but they are. Every week, they discover a new way to win and just when I think they can’t top themselves from the week before, they do something like BLOCK a field goal on the final play.  There have been at least five games this season where I thought for sure that the Chiefs were going to lose, but clearly, I know nothing about football, because they didn’t lose any of them. I know what you’re thinking and I agree: At this point, I…

Reading paper newspapers is becoming a luxury. I can sympathize with my fellow boomer letter writers who have reluctantly stopped subscribing to print cameras. With a recent series of eye-popping price increases, the luxury of physical paper is becoming increasingly unaffordable. Still, I want my subscription fees to continue to fund the outstanding work of hard-working local reporters like Amber Carlson and editor Gary Garrison. Because I want to read what’s going on in my community without staring at my computer or phone. I dropped all extra issues and asked not to receive Sunday’s Denver Post for free (which seems…
