Rand and Ryan

The NY Observer's look at the influence of Ayn Rand. The usual snarkiness but still worth reading.

Dalton in the spotlight

Another story on Dalton's economic miseries. This now is from a little ol' newspaper named the New York Times. I have to say that next to last paragraph is bullshit. Downtown has a lot more than the writer admits, though its not nearly the wonderland city boosters would have you believe.

Stuart Swanlund, RIP

Marshall Tucker Band guitarist dies. Joined in 1985 when the band revamped under its only surviving founder, singer Doug Gray.

Dan Roundfield, RIP

Former Atlanta Hawk star Dan Roundfield reported drowned in Aruba. Roundfeld was a standout power forward on some very good Hawks teams. With a player like him today, Atlanta would be a serious NBA contender. I always enjoyed watching him play.
