Shocked by that? We naturally understand studios target the demographic group that frequents the movie theaters more than any other group: the teenager. Did studio executives suddenly discover a new secret hit parade of material? Maybe, but the first superhero movie started back in 1937, with The Shadow.

This article (Food and Drink, “Kiss my political buns,” Dec. 4, Gazette) was one of those times.

Who’s hungry? Each year, Gov. Mary Fallin sponsors a food bank drive asking state employees to contribute. The food collected is donated to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. On first consideration, this seems like a laudable effort. Every year, more Oklahomans suffer from hunger. Both the latest census and the Regional Food Bank have […]
