Why wasn't Richard A. Fox on that dang list?
Sunday, March 14, 2010 at 09:14AM The newspaper ran its list of "movers & shakers with Berks ties," this one about business and industry, voted on by a select panel of newspaper people, such as a sports guy, that actually didn't suck up to Albert Boscov, who just signed a giant printing contract with these same newspaper people. My question is, why wasn't Richard A. Fox on the short list? He founded the magnificent Fox Theater chain, which dominated Reading screens from the '60s through the '80s. He was president of the National Association of Theatre Owners, which cribbed its acronym, NATO, from an organization that made for terrific movie thrillers. He was like the guy whose son helped Sandy Solmon create Sweet Streets desserts, when they got unhitched. No respect.

I nominate Tony Moran and Mayor Kubacki.
SAN FRANCISCO –" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Saturday she's confident the House will pass health care legislation and dismissed Republican criticism that she did not have enough votes for the measure.
"We're very excited about where we are and will not be deterred by estimates that have no basis in fact," she said during a dedication of the renamed Lim P. Lee Post Office in San Francisco. The post office was renamed after the nation's first Chinese-American postmaster."
PELOSI HAS BEEN FLAPPING HER GUMS FOR THE PAST YEAR, SAYING THE SAME DAMNED THING.
OVER AND OVER! NOW SHE "DEDICATES" AN AMERICAN POST OFFICE FOR A CHINK?
THIS IS ONE STUPID BROAD!
