Tehran’s Unpaid Blood Debt
American victims of state-sponsored terrorism have buried husbands, wives, parents, children, soldiers, firefighters and friends. Then they endured years of litigation, proved their cases and secured judgments against the governments and terror networks responsible. Washington’s answer has too often been another delay, another negotiation and another excuse. Janlyn Scauso, whose husband, FDNY firefighter Dennis Scauso,…

Shadows of the Syndicate: The Ken Jowdy Money Trail
Every good scandal begins with two stories that cannot both be true. Kenneth A. Jowdy appears in Diamante Cabo’s polished history as the visionary behind a world-class golf empire. Yet lawsuits, judgments, banking records, federal exhibits, and years of post-trial combat place his name wherever the money trail bends toward Baja. Phillip A. Kenner was…

Leave the Gravy Alone: Satire and the Italian soul
A year after Greg Maresca stirred the Sunday gravy with an affectionate roast of Pennsylvania Italians, he returns to the scene of the culinary crime. His original column borrowed the rhythm of Jeff Foxworthy to poke fun at jarred sauce, plastic-covered furniture, mangled pronunciations and the sacred mysteries of gabagool. But beneath every punchline was…

The Sirens Follow Eric Sanders
Eric Sanders has made ethics the centerpiece of his public brand. He arrives before the cameras as a civil-rights crusader, condemning misconduct, retaliation and institutional abuse.

Hockey’s Holiest Trophy Hijacked
The Stanley Cup is supposed to remember sacrifice, not celebrate bloodlines. Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon turned hockey’s most sacred monument into a silver family album when he placed his wife and five children atop the championship engraving. None holds a formal role with the team. Meanwhile, longtime equipment manager Bobby Gorman, defenseman Joel Nystrom…

Love In The Lockup
Kevin Barry Love was not merely invited into a Staten Island precinct for conversation. Sources say the politically connected developer and husband of Council Majority Whip Kamillah Hanks was placed in a cell and had his personal property vouchered.

Kenner Got The Cage: Is Tarantino Available?
The Philip Kenner story does not belong in a sterile government press release. It belongs under hard light, where badges, bankers, media cutouts, sports-world fixers, and federal operators can finally be seen together in the same frame. The first installment, “Kenner Got The Cage,” opens the door on a two-decade saga of narrative control, protected…

Respect The Roar: Bombadiko
France ended Morocco’s World Cup journey in Boston, but the Atlas Lions did not leave the world stage diminished.
