Column: Exorcising demons over brie & chablis
Now I know why I never took me Ma’s advice on becoming an educator. She was a teacher, in her case in both Catholic and public schools, and many in me family followed that career path, from her dad, Dr. John Brophy, down to baby brother Dennis. Which made me the black...

Column: A fake diner is wrong for Riverhead
Denny’s and I started out on the right foot, but that was only because they bribed me. I was about 10 years old when my mother decided it would be a good idea for her and me and my uncle and his four kids and mother-in-law to pack into...

Column: When that flicker of hope fades out
Something has died inside me. Not only that, I’m quite sure it’s flushed through my system; I don’t have to worry about what will happen if doctors are forced to remove it. No, it’s not really anything medical. Nor is it my passion for Riverhead, my home...

Column: Some guidelines for commenters to follow
In the mid-1990s, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said, “We’ve all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. “Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.” I can’t help but be reminded...

Column: Relief, reminiscence in Osama killing
Watching revelers descend upon the White House Sunday night, I got a feeling I hadn’t felt in almost 10 years. It was the days after 9/11 and we were a united nation, bound together in a time of sorrow and focused on one thing: finding the man responsible for the most...

Column: Trump’s a classmate, but I won’t vote for him
Harvard University is rightfully proud of having awarded degrees to eight U.S. Presidents: John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. On the other hand, my alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, must...

Guest Column: The wealthy should pay higher taxes
It could have been worse. Indeed, It should have been worse. I’m talking about the tax bite Uncle Sam just took out of my bank account. It was simply too damn small at a time when America is trying to shrink its breathtakingly high budget deficit — and deliver...

Columns: So, these two nuns walk into a bar
It’s official: I’m older than dirt. OK, before any of you weisenheimers pipe in with, “You must be, Buddy, if you’re just realizing that now,” yes, that’s not entirely a revelation. What makes it official is my high school class preparing for our — gulp — 40th reunion...

Column: Times/Review editor becomes latest American sucked into the world of Twitter
Here’s what I learned Tuesday while sitting and editing stories: LIPA overcharged customers by $231 million; the governor is planning a special budget speech at Hofstra; NYC is looking at sewage as a source of energy; the Riverhead school tax levy could go up some 6 percent or more next...

Wine Column: Getting serious about pink Champagne
The wine world is a funny place, driven by trends, fashions and critics playing favorites. In the past few years, once-maligned rosé wines have soared in popularity. Now the affection for drinking pink has spread to the bubbly stuff. Although pink is often considered an indication of froufrou frivolity and...

Column: A look back at the first-ever Sun editorial
I cannot, in good conscience, let the print edition of The North Shore Sun pass from the scene without comment. And that’s because, as an owner of Times/Review Newspapers, I was around at the Sun’s beginning and, in fact, long before the beginning, as chronicled in the following editorial from...

Column: Times have changed in D.C.
Washington, D.C. is under attack! OK, that's always true in the figurative sense. But during a recent trip to Our Nation's Capital -- or Gomorrah-on-Potomac, depending on your viewpoint -- it seemed to be a military reality. Me and the Mrs. braved the Jersey Turnpike and the Capital Beltway to pay...
