A Return to Chivalry? – Part 1
Posted on August 25, 2004 | 1 Comment“Is chivalry dead?” I ask my Western Civilization students. The responses are invariably electric. As attenuated its forms, as rare its observance may be, chivalry still retains a significant place in the modern memory. -
A Return to Chivalry – Part 2
Posted on August 24, 2004 | No CommentsOnce students become aware that the vulgarization of the relations between the sexes is taking place before their very eyes, they are ready to discuss the importance of chivalry in the history of Western civilization. -

Lawyers: Knights & Junkyard Dogs
Posted on August 15, 2004 | No CommentsA lawyer’s job is to be contentious. An attorney is expected to act as a warrior, doing battle for the client because by definition, there is a disagreement.

Posted on May 15, 2004 | No CommentsEmbrace your strong capable side. Do not listen when the world tells you something is not suitable for women. It takes a lot of bravery to try something conventional wisdom says a woman cannot do. Do what you want and do not listen to those wanting to put you in a cage. -
Chivalry in the Air
Posted on May 1, 2004 | No CommentsDecember 20, 1943, was a typically cold, overcast winter day in Britain as 2d Lt. Charles L. Brown’s B-17F lined up for takeoff. It was 21-year-old Charlie Brown’s first combat mission as an aircraft commander with the 379th Bomb Group, the target an FW-190 factory at Bremen, Germany. He and his crew of Ye Olde Pub were to become participants in an event probably unique at that time in the air war over Europe — a mission that would remain shrouded in mystery for many years. -
Buffy’s Round Table: Part 1
Posted on April 27, 2004 | No CommentsAlthough many of us labor under the romantic illusion that true spirituality is something that only solitary monks sitting lotus-legged in a desert chanting “Om” can cultivate, the fact is that the vast majority of us don’t have the luxury of solitary contemplation. -
Buffy’s Round Table: Part 2
Posted on April 26, 2004 | No CommentsOur friendships enrich our lives immeasurably; we play off one another’s strengths and compensate for each other’s weaknesses.
