Review of 'Superman'. Top Story - July 2025.
I've been following and enjoying Superman's exploits since I started watching him played by George Reeves on television when I was a kid in the 1950s, and started reading the comic book a few years later, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster way back in 1938. And as an adult I even contributed an article about The Man of Steel -- “Superman, Patriotism, and Doing the Ultimate Good” (which explored why Superman didn't just wipe out Hitler and the Nazis in World War Two) in The Man from Krypton -- an anthology published in 2006.

Author’s preface: The employment contract I signed had some fairly strict confidentiality clauses therefore I have had to leave out a significant amount of detail and am not able to provide any information about the actual content of the work. I am probably being overly conservative but I did not want to take any chance with what is the only job I have at the moment over this story. My apologies.

The Archivist . First Place in Tomorrow’s Utopia Challenge. Top Story - May 2025.
“I need to forget her,” The old man said turning his wedding ring with his thumb like he was tracing the edge of a bruise. She had heard innumerable variations of that sentence, the quiet plea, the calm command. The way his voice cracked, though, the way it lingered on the word “need” made her look up from his chart.

We Inherit The Sins of Our Fathers and Mothers. Top Story - May 2025.
Jake was preparing to deliver his sales pitch to the UN. It was not what he thought he would ever do, but he did not have a choice. He had been driven to think the unthinkable, imagine the unimaginable, and deal with the unscrupulous, untenable movement of society, that had been based on false economy for over 100 years. He focused on his 3-minute presentation for Global Improvement Future Technologies, GIFT. They were being endorsed by the Forums on Sustainable Development, Climate Change and Human health.
