People often assume New York City is no place to keep a dog. This is certainly what my parents told me when I was growing up there. But I have found this not to be the case at all.

In one's relationship with dogs and with a newsroom, a generous amount of praise and encouragement goes much better than criticism.

A general truth is to have a good sense of humor. Roll with the punches of life's ups and downs. Laughing at yourself always helps.

The printed newspaper is a powerful showcase for news, opinion and advertising.

You know, a dog can snap you out of any kind of bad mood that you're in faster than you can think of.

I have an older sister who sounds, unfortunately, exactly like me, and we sound like our mother did.

I admit that I am hopelessly hooked on the printed newspaper. I love turning the pages and the serendipity of stumbling across a piece of irresistible information or a photograph that I wasnt necessarily intending to read.
