AT LARGE

The slightest moment can be a trigger. Something unexpected appears and brings back a memory or creates a small explosion of insight.

This past weekend was not a detective show. So its events were either a coincidence … or a “cosmic intersection of realities.” Take your pick.

One can recall that time, seemingly eons ago, when Walter Cronkhite would calmly and directly report what had happened during the day. There were no histrionics, no inflammatory sound bites, no table pounding in those reports: just the news.

It’s always interesting to run into a word or phrase that’s novel. It’s the “what does that mean?” syndrome.
