Tom sees Hubert as a man who has to step into the father figure role when the mother is lost. In developing the character in rehearsal, he felt it was important that Hubert was seen as part of the family, someone known by John all his life. Tom took inspiration from the character of lawyer Tom Hagen in The Godfather, played by Robert Duvall in the Coppola film, turning Hubert into an informally adopted member of the family. He is the mild-mannered voice of reason and tries to be a peace broker, suggesting Blanche marry the Dauphin, although his plan fails. In a room full of posturing figures, he is the one most like us in the audience, the observer of chaos.

50 years ago, Oregon's beach battle kept sands open to everyone

50 years ago, Gov. Tom McCall visited Cannon Beach, and declared that Oregon's beaches belonged to the people. That set in motion the Beach Bill, which was signed into law later in 1967, guaranteeing public access to Oregon beaches.

Like to contextualize Nick Kristof's Oregon governor thing you have to know about Tom McCall, the legendary 1967-75 governor who's considered the founder of modern Oregon, like you'll hear he was a newspaperman but it was like if Mississippi or maybe California had elected Mark Twain, or somewhere had elected Steve Sailer in 2002

After interviews with residents and public officials and a review of a vast sheaf of public records, a picture emerges of a huge and powerful company that snuck onto the Oregon Coast, bullied neighbors, abused the state's iconic coastline, and covered up its sins, all in the service of expanding its wildly profitable quasi-monopoly on social media.

'Don't Mess With Texas'? Let's make it count

We all know the phrase “Don’t Mess With Texas.” It has become some sort of political battle cry. Right-wingers have adopted it as a defiant call to those who might want to, um, “reform” certain laws and customs.

It truth the phrase was born in the 1980s as an anti-littering slogan during the time Garry Mauro was serving as the state’s land commissioner. The General Land Office took up litter…

Recalling a great Republican governor

I mentioned the late Tom McCall in a recent blog post, citing him as the type of Republican politician I admired. The more I think about it the more I feel compelled to elaborate on the great man.

McCall was born in Massachusetts but moved to Oregon as a youngster. He divided his time between the coasts. Even as he grew into adulthood, McCall never seemed to lose his New England accent.
