        If a man, driven by desperation, robs a convenience store for money to feed his family, it&amp;rsquo;s quite likely he&amp;rsquo;ll go to prison.

        George Bush peered into the soul of Vladimir Putin and was pleased by what he saw there. But now the people of Georgia &amp;mdash; along with citizens of Latvia, Estonia and other former captive Soviet republics &amp;mdash; have been afforded another view.

        I cannot say just how many years it&#39;s been &#151; 10 or 12, maybe longer &#151; since I abandoned the yeasty confusion of the newsroom and came here to write, instead, on the glassed-in side porch of our house.

        My opinions about music are as archaic as my ideas about language, manners and work. I despise the contemporary notion that one way of spelling is as good as another, that subject-verb agreement is unimportant, or that the street argot is a reasonable substitute for proper speech.
