    The Mystery of the Transfixed Beagle

    Red, our Beagle/ Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, sits in the corner of our dining room and stares at the floor for hours. He'll growl, whimper, bark and claw at the same particular square until we think he'll go nuts or we will. After months of obsessing, he has managed to scratch ...

    One More Furlong

    Surprise: Union-Tribune Solicits Employee Suggestions

    The Union-Tribune has instituted an employee suggestion program that includes cash bonuses. Under the old Copley regime, management was militaristic; ideas came from the top down and the bottom-up approach was a no-no.
