With the decline of traditional journalism, there are precious few inquiring eyes watching government and the public service. How can any of us know how our tax dollars are being spent? But there is good news. For at least the past decade, governments at all levels have been busy publishing truckloads of data representing official policies and their outcomes. For the most part, that data is available in the public domain and just sits there, waiting for us to come and get it. This book was written with the hope and expectation that sophisticated data analytics tools can tame those ...

In Tinder Box, Tony Hatch, former CBS reporter and Emmy Award winner, tells the Iroquois story as it has never been told before. In a rush to open the theater on time, corners were cut, and the Iroquois lacked the most basic fire-fighting equipment: sprinklers, fire alarm boxes, backstage telephone, exit signs, and functioning asbestos curtain. Some exits, for aesthetic reasons, were hidden behind heavy draperies, doors opened inward, and exterior fire escapes were unfinished.

We need both words, but we need them for different reasons. A clear understanding of Law and Gospel makes us acutely aware of our own sin problem and in awe of God’s grace. A proper understanding of God’s promises gives us hope when we have nothing to hope in, joy when everything is falling apart, and grace when we deserve punishment.

Instead, Brod devoted his life to championing Kafka's writing, rescuing his legacy from obscurity and physical destruction.
