Florida is a hotbed for football talent, young and old. Many of Miami's high schools are basically factories for college football programs and, by proxy, the National Football League.

48 Civil Rights Groups and Experts Oppose Gimenez’s Sanctuary-City Order

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez has argued his decision to bow to President Donald Trump's bellicose order banning so-called sanctuary cities — which refuse to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement requests to deport undocumented people — was purely financial.

Seriously, Dan Brown Deserves Better Than Inferno

I'm not afraid to admit that I get a kick out of Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon thrillers. Yes, they’re indifferently plotted and predictably written. But I’m a sucker for ludicrous, centuries-spanning conspiracies and indulgent faux-gnosticism. The books serve, if nothing else, as gripping tours through art-world apocrypha, and Brown’s know-it-all...
