Column: Continue positive trends of '13 Legislature

The 2012 election was historic in many regards, and the 2013 legislative session was no less significant.

Book Report: Another word on former presidents; waxing poetic on the death of a fly Three American presidents lead off this week’s roster of books: Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon.

Book Report: A new Scandinavian thriller takes the stage I’m way behind in my coverage of the Scandinavian thriller surge in world publishing, not having even read a Stieg Larsson thriller, so I’ll try to make it up by reviewing a finely wrought thriller by first-time Swedish author Alexander Soderberg.

Column: U.S. can't afford flawed health care reforms

Whether hosting a roundtable discussion with the business community, touring a local manufacturing company, or visiting with constituents, I am continually reminded of Minnesotans’ concerns about the president’s health care law. Patients, doctors, health care providers, employers and workers share one common tenet when it comes to “ObamaCare”: It weakens health care for American families.
