Citizens UnitedWed, 04/25/2012 - 11:00am | Rick MonizCorporate personhood? It sounds like a oxymoron, but the corporations rule. The decision by an activist legal precedent setting court turns the tables on the so-called liberals. Meanwhile, those corporate rascals are completing their strangle hold on the body politic. They control the three branches and as a consequence we are facing the destruction of our republic. |

Davis author writes the book about ‘Peanuts’ pianist Vince GuaraldiTue, 04/24/2012 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

San Francisco jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi (right, with characteristic handlebar moustache) wrote music for “Peanuts” specials, influenced countless musicians, and created one of the top-selling Christmas records ever (“A Charlie Brown Christmas”), but in-depth appraisals of his career are scarce. Davis author Derrick Bang has fixed that with “Vince Guaraldi at the Piano,” an account of Guaraldi and his music. Bang holds a copy of his book, left. Guaraldi, who performed in Davis in 1963 and 1972, died of a heart attack at 47 in 1976.
