I buried Spot yesterday. Planted her in the strawberry patch in the side yard where we can see her grave from our bedroom window. Her death, while long anticipated, was more difficult to deal with than I expected. She’d been dying for a long time. I thought I’d be ready. After all, she was nearly 16 years old, and not our only dog. Gaunt and unsteady on her feet for the past couple of months, she looked like the walking dead. We’d gotten her from a litter in Hardin a month before my mother died,...

Ninety years ago, Paramount released “The Virginian” starring Gary Cooper. The 1929 western, Cooper’s first talkie film, was based on the 1902 novel by Owen Wister. “I read the book in high school, so was well aware of the story,” said James Drury from his home in Houston. But young Jim never imagined he would portray the role of the unnamed cattle ranch cowboy himself, decades later in a long-running western TV series in the 1960s. Originally airing on NBC from 1962 to 1971, and currently rerunning on several cable networks, the enduring...
