Warren doesn’t lean on Native background
Glenn Beaton’s Sunday column goes on for paragraphs about how Elizabeth Warren supposedly claimed Native American heritage to get minority status preference in quota systems. In fact, she never applied for any program benefiting minority status, including admission to any school or teaching job application.
She had been told by her family that she had a grandmother with Cherokee blood and she didn’t doubt it (and it has not been proved or disproved), but she never asked for nor received any special treatment as a result.
Wonder what else Beaton asserts with such fervor is contrary to fact.

Berger’s passing a reminder of Aspen’s rich history
With much sorrow I heard of the passing of a good friend Bruce Berger. He was a man for all seasons, a pianist, prolific author, environmentalist, and lover of Aspen.
