Cruz targets the 'moderate'
Cruz targets the 'moderate': We are seeing evidence that Senator Ted Cruz has learned his Beto lesson, i.e. don't underestimate your liberal opponent. Don't let him drive around the state in his version of the Beto-mobile telling everyone that he wants Texans to love….
We remember Greta Friedman (1924-2016)
Greta Friedman was born in Austria in 1924 and died in Virginia at age 92.
Greta was working as a nurse and went out to join the V-J celebrations in 1945 in Times Square. Then a young navy man out celebrating the news gave her the famous kiss. It became one of the most important photos of the 20th century.

We remember Alvarez-Guedes (1927-2013)
We remember Guillermo Álvarez Guedes who was born in Cuba on this day in 1927. He died in 2013.
How do you measure Alvarez-Guedes’s impact?
He made us laugh, as I remember my parents every time that one of his LP’s was on the turntable.

He entertained us with a very unique sense of humor that only a Cuban could understand.
Alvarez-Guedes made Cubans laugh about Cubans. Frankly, didn’t a lot of Cubans need to laugh in those early days in the US?
Alvarez-Guedes knew how to use “expletives”. It just did not sound like “una mala palabra” when it came out of his mouth.

Back in 2013, we recorded this show about Alvarez-Guedes.

We remember Mark Belanger 1944-1998
Mark Belanger was born on this day in 1944 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He became one of the best defensive shortstops in major league history winning 8 Gold Gloves.
This is from SABR:
As I recall, Belanger played with Brooks Robinson on one side and Davey Johnson & later Bobby Grich on the other. They were all Gold Glove winners or the best defensive infield in baseball.The most electrifying defensive shortstop of his generation, Mark Belanger set the standard by anchoring a great Baltimore Orioles infield for most of 14 seasons.
During this stretch, Baltimore won 90 or more games 11 times with six postseason appearances capped by the 1970 world championship.
Belanger and Ozzie Smith are the only shortstops to retire with fielding averages over .975 while averaging more than five fielding chances per game.
He died in 1998. He left me with a lot of memories of watching baseball at the old Memorial Stadium in Baltimore.

We remember Barbara Bush (1925-2018)
We remember Barbara Bush, one of our favorite First Ladies. She was born on this day in 1925 and died in 2018.
She was married to Bush-41 and mother of Bush-43. Her son Jeb was governor of Florida and a candidate for president in 2016.
What a neat lady! We miss her sense of humor.
