Third baseman Mandy Alvarez lifted a home run and double to help push the Charleston RiverDogs, 3-1, over Lexington in front of a crowd of 4,366 at Riley Park on Friday night.
The Johns Island intersection of Maybank Highway and River Road might not be the most dysfunctional in Charleston, but it has triggered enough griping to prompt the city to take a novel step: operating the traffic light there by hand.

Of recent, Gov. Haley was inundated with praise for removing the Confederate flag from the Statehouse grounds. African-Americans along with liberals and progressives can appreciate the move as it was a start to neo-racial healing within the state. But such a move was initially not of her own volition. It was a reaction, perhaps...

President Bill Clinton declared in 1996 that "the Era of Big Government is over." Of course it wasn’t and isn’t. Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination on Thursday night says it might just be gathering steam.
President Obama has described the Syrian civil war a "quagmire" — and indeed he finds himself drawn ever deeper into that intractable problem and the associated war in Iraq.
I was struck on Wednesday while watching Michelle Obama’s speech. It was in sharp contrast to what she said eight years ago at the convention.
I forced myself to watch a few of the performers on TV during the Democratic convention, with little hope I’d see anything regarding a bright future for America with another Democratic president. This political circus turned out to be a liberal love fest and side show. The crowd was intoxicated with the performers. TV cameras focused on...
I’m a baby boomer. I was involved in the civil rights movement and with women’s rights. I was against the Viet Nam war. Segregation was ugly, but it had to evolve that way. The reason is that white people were not willing to give "equal rights" to everyone as it states in the Constitution.
The male ego is huge — almost beyond description. We all know this, and yet the media seem to ignore that fact as relates to "cowardly terrorist acts" we read about almost daily in the press. Writers sould call out these sub-human weaklings for what they really are: spineless. Then, we could get this male ego thing working...
The Democrat Party has done an excellent job in promoting a woman to be its nominee for the presidency of our country.
The last time long-term interest rates were this low the United States was in the Great Depression and unemployment was above 20 percent. Today the unemployment rate is below 5 percent, the economy is growing and the stock market is hitting new highs. What gives?
I used to own an ’81 Ford Fairmont. Although it was a great first car, I recall it having a rather peculiar issue (perhaps it was by design?): While the air conditioner was on, if I pressed the gas pedal enough, the pedal would lock, such that if I were on a level grade, the car would accelerate to 45 mph (even after removing my foot from...
No car? No problem for ride sharing companies such as Uber and Lyft.
These cars aren’t the kind you see every day: an 1896 wagonette, a 1930s "duesy" of a model driven by maharajahs and gangsters, an auto with propeller and the world’s narrowest car at 2 feet, 4 inches.
HOUSTON — Two circus acrobats tied the knot on a tightrope during a performance in Houston.
When I was 8 years old, I used splintered sheetrock to write my first F-word across a neighborhood trash shed. There was something satisfying even then about using just the right F-word.
NEW YORK — A completed and unpublished Michael Crichton novel, recently discovered by his widow, is coming out next year.
NEW YORK — As she sat overlooking a hotel lobby in Philadelphia during the Democratic National Convention this week, Alexandra Pelosi said she spied three of the wealthy men featured in her HBO documentary, "Meet the Donors: Does Money Talk?"
LOS ANGELES — When one of Hollywood’s most objectified women talks about tabloid culture, people listen. But while actresses are cheering Jennifer Aniston’s recent essay connecting the media’s obsession with her looks to the overall objectification of women, most are resigned that reality will be slow to catch up with...
