Brent Hunsaker - Remember Columbia!
I grew up in the "Space Age." I remember Glenn and Mercury, Armstrong and Apollo. I remember Challenger and McAullife. And I remember what happened 9-years ago to Columbia and her brave crew. I remember, and I mourn for them and for what has become of our quest for space.

Brent Hunsaker - Will America elect a Mormon Prez? "Heck, no!"

Brent Hunsaker - Should Utah’s grand jury system be reformed or eliminated?
A grand jury met in secret last July in Utah County. It heard prosecutors explain in detail their theory about how a man was brutally killed in his home by his own son and daughter-in-law. The grand jury handed up indictments against them both. The problem was, they didn’t do it. They were innocent.

Susan Cox Powell's last day before she ran off?
