Their House

Behind tall hedges, shining through a break in the wall, properties are forced to share their magnolias. Those planted publicly bask in their own generous glow. Nothing compares. Both gaudy and beguiling, the showy tree brings joy into a cold and cloudy day — the April norm in Sagaponack. Our spring, in the Land of the Large Ground Nut, is, sometimes for days on end, a steady night of fog. It’s generally safe to plant potatoes when the first of the magnolia bloom, but with far fewer acres to plant and the weather not really sorted out, why push it? ... 8 Apr 2025 by Marilee Foster

Hand-Wrestling With God

I never thought I would see this story, and as a nine-page article no less, in the current April issue of the esteemed and influential magazine Scientific American. “A Softer Corps” is the headline. The subhead: “The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has uncharacteristically been working with nature instead of bulldozing it into submission. Will this enlightened approach prevail?” So the piece would not be missed, it is flagged on the cover of Scientific American with: “Reinventing the Army Corps of Engineers.” When I began as a journalist based in Suffolk County in 1962, the Army Corps was promoting a ... 7 Apr 2025 by Karl Grossman

The “Tilting at Windmills” column first appeared in this paper six years ago last month. Happy anniversary to me! Time flies when you’re having fun, and it’s been a blast drafting such entertaining (at least to me) 900 words every four, five or six weeks — depending on how many wise columnists the fine folks at The Express News Group had on rotation. Wait, why didn’t I celebrate the more traditional fifth anniversary? Great question. The short answer is, I forgot. The longer answer might involve painkillers. My March 2024 column was about how I had spent the preceding six ... by Tracy Grathwohl

VIEWPOINT: The Supreme Court Case That Could Radically Change Elections

It is close to impossible for the average American to follow the decisions coming out of the Supreme Court of the United States. However, certain matters that come before the court may have a direct impact on the functioning of our democratic form of government, a concept that should be of universal interest. On December 7, 2022, arguments were heard by the Supreme Court in a case called Moore v. Harper. The central issue was the question as to whether state legislatures should have independent power, not subject to any judicial review by state courts, to set election rules that ... by Peter Mayer
