Time for the Steelers to start thinking about moving on from him. I would go for Higgins, Cooper or even-gulp-Diggs ...

I would be in favor of a revision to our copyright laws that acknowledged the ubiquity of digital technology and the accelerated pace of production and distribution. This January 1 as in previous years, a whole raft of important works (early Disney cartoons, Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own , e...

I've talked to Doak (Rare Sports Film) on the phone. He's been interviewed publicly a few times.
