I am the father of twin sons that were born in Philadelphia at Pennsylvania Hospital in 1983. They were 13 weeks premature. Gerry weighed 1 pound 14 ounces, and Zachary 1 pound 11 ounces. They were the first male twins to ever survive at Pennsylvania Hospital.

One of the exciting things about reporting is going to places you've never been to before.

I don't have many friends in Philadelphia. I sort of have one. I have the dog and someone else.

But I would much prefer students going to college to learn and be prepared for the rigors of the new economic order, rather than dumping fees on them to subsidize football programs that, far from enhancing the academic mission instead make a mockery of it.

I'm really not interested in other people's opinions, because I think frankly most of those opinions are either misinformed and adding to this endless ball of hot air we have in our society where everyone thinks their opinion is valuable and sacred and what counts.

If someone is going to criticize what you've written and you believe in what you've written then you should respond.

Maybe it's a tired tale, but without an education, you're not going to go anywhere.
