Our best laid plans in Iran could still go awry

5 days ago | davisenterprise.com | Rich Rifkin

TACO is the acronym that has bedeviled the president of the United States the last month. It means Trump Always Chickens Out.

My spouse is finishing up a book manuscript. When she's revising, she occasionally finds what she calls a “junk drawer” paragraph” — that is, a group of sentences filled with more or less useful information that didn't quite fit any place else.

I arrived at the El Macero Country Club on a warm Wednesday afternoon but once inside, the spacious dining room was cool and the team running the club welcoming. I sat with general manager Chris Johnson under lights that looked like bursts of fireworks, as he described their newest project, four new pickleball courts.
