With the demise of major syndicated newspaper material, Larry King's newspaper column is gone. I continue to attempt to convince struggling newspapers that a King-like column, filled only with his brief and timely thoughts, could still be popular.

One New York City borough is called The Bronx. Yet, the others are not called The Brooklyn, The Queens, The Manhattan or The Staten Island. I still don't know why this is so.

I keep wondering who'll be the next Elvis.

There was a time in our country when round and round it went and where it stopped, nobody knew. Not any more.

I've met a few Popes in my time and every one of them knows how to speak Latin. Yet, not one of those Popes can sing like Desi Arnez sang, no less play them big bongos.

So it turns out you're never too old to be an astronaut.

Some names of people working at the United Nations are just impossible to pronounce.

Time just does not want to kill Roller Derby.
