Open Fire (1978).

Here are highlights from Stage 3 of Paris-Nice.

After Richard Nixon’s chief staff members, John Erlichman and Bob Haldeman, were jailed for their roles in the Watergate scandal, doubts still persisted whether Nixon himself was involved. But as the Mexican proverb reminds us, “tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are.” Nixon was finally impeached. Will history repeat itself now that Robert Mueller has filed indictments on several of Trump’s closest advisers?

Federal Judge in Maryland has just ruled that “President Trump has the right to end DACA.” President Obama had 8 years to fix this problem, and didn’t. I am waiting for the Dems, they are running for the hills!

The main purpose of a religious house was to sing Masses for the souls of the founders, benefactors, and their families, and to cultivate a holy life among its members; but the religious and their lay-brethren made important contributions to the cultural and economic life of Scotland. They were great builders, and introduced new techniques from Norman England or direct from France. Among the majestic monuments of the age—some of them now sadly impaired by the ravages of time and misfortune—are the cathedrals of St Andrews and Glasgow, the priory of Inchcolm, the abbey of Arbroath, and parts of the great Border abbeys (which were to suffer so much from English invasion). The monks were good agriculturalists too, and good sheep farmers; they became wool-merchants, miners of coal and producers of salt.
