LUCINSKI: Debate over the drinking age

....more>>

LUCINSKI: Falls school board gets it right
LUCINSKI: Listing the nation’s ‘nanny’ cities
We’ve said it before. We’ll say it again. America loves lists.
We will list just about anything: Best ice cream flavors; worst songs of the rock and roll era; favorite overpriced coffee outlets; drunkest cities (there really is such a list: Denver is No. 1).
LUCINSKI: Respecting the power of Niagara
LUCINSKI: WNY: Fromm the outside looking in
LUCINSKI: It’s August: We’re on ‘staycation’
If you’ve ever seen the 1959 musical “Gypsy,” you might remember one number that was way ahead of its time. It’s titled “You Gotta Get a Gimmick.”
During it, three strippers urge the young Louise (the future Gypsy Rose Lee) to make her act something special by introducing some sort of “gimmick” (If you’re gonna bump it, bump it with a trumpet). She took the advice (her gimmick was stripping with style and class) and the rest is history. Gypsy Rose Lee became the preeminent striptease artist of the 20th century.
LUCINSKI: Not a happy anniversary
LUCINSKI: The problem with pessimism
LUCINSKI: The flag of freedom: Made in China
In this space on Tuesday, one of our contributing columnists voiced a strong opinion about the American flag.
There are always strong opinions when it comes to the American flag. As a symbol of our nation, it evokes intense emotion, especially when the flag is defiled, disgraced or otherwise disrespected.
LUCINSKI: What's your problem? N.Y. state
