What is life


CFN

Gazette staff
There’s a symbolic weight in being the first of anything, whether it’s the first man to orbit the Earth (Yuri Gagrin), the first man to walk on the moon (Neil Armstrong) or the first mooning of a man on earth (alas, history dropped the ball on recording that one).

Capitol love


CFN

Gazette staff
You might look at the state Capitol and see falling limestone, grimy walls and corridors faintly pungent with the smell of ancient (and soon-to-beno-more) cigarette smoke. But one man’s rat warren is another man’s treasure.

Take that to the bank


CFN

Gazette staff
