Breakfast at Tiffany's

Did you know: Breakfast is now served at Tiffany’s? Daniel Boulud opened the Blue Box Café at the Fifth Avenue flagship store. My daughter Melissa and I spent a night in the city specifically to be on line in front of the iconic building. We couldn’t get a reservation for the day when we had theater tickets, but six seats are reserved for walk-ins, as well as seven seats at the bar. We were the first on line.

We have lived in their homes and in their church, experiencing their way ... by Staff Writer

A Safer World

I’m glad to see that Paula Angelone, Ph.D, in “The American Way” letter [November 14], acknowledges that President-elect Donald Trump will end the war in Ukraine and bring peace to the Middle East. Ms. Angelone criticizes the president-elect if he solves all the problems that plague us as wrong because they are solved via a skewed narrative. The Trump narrative. That, Ms. Angelone, is called leadership. Something that in the last four years we saw nothing of the kind. The reality is, solving conflict in complex situations requires compromise by all parties. If Trump had been our president the last ... by Staff Writer
