Poll: Nky Voters Want State Smoking Restrictions

This weekend’s Fort Lauderdale Air Show is like last weekend’s Miami Grand Prix — just faster, louder, and you can be certain an American will win this time.  Featuring the U. S. Air Force Thunderbirds back as headliners and the debut of the Ghost Squadron, the annual air show returns on Saturday and Sunday to fill the heavens with sonic rumbles and arcing contrails as hundreds of thousands of spectators scan the sky over the beach in Fort Lauderdale.

It’s going to be a very interesting offseason, so pass the popcorn.– Brian, Fort Lauderdale. A: As a colleague mentioned as he compared the media sessions of Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley, it almost was a case of good cop, bad cop, where Spoelstra had mostly platitudes and Riley was more critical.
