Supreme Court Ticket
By Jamie Dupree
Christmas came early for this reporter when the email arrived from the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday confirming that I have a seat with my name on it for the three days of arguments on the Obama health reform law.
“This note is to confirm a press seat for the oral arguments in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act cases on March 26, 27, and 28,” the email read.

Race and Rhetoric
One of the things that turned up, during a long-overdue cleanup of my office, was an old yellowed copy of the New York Times dated July 24, 1992. One of the front-page headlines said: “White-Black Disparity in Income Narrowed in 80′s, Census Shows.”
The 1980s? Wasn’t that the years of the Reagan administration, the “decade of greed,” the era of “neglect” of the poor and minorities, if not “covert racism”?
More recently, during the administration of America’s first black president, a 2011 report from the Pew Research Center has the headline, “Wealth Gaps Rise to Record Highs Between Whites, Blacks and Hispanics.” [snip]
