BRACK: Here’s why Edward Stack of New York is my hero

By Elliott Brack  |  Though I had never heard of Edward Stack before, he’s a hero of mine. Mr. Stack died recently at age 88 in New York.

And he’s my hero because he’s the person who is responsible for keeping Pete Rose out of the Hall of Fame because of his gambling addiction.

BRACK: Many newcomers miss out of Georgia’s seacoast

By Elliott Brack  |  Many of the newcomers to Georgia aren’t getting the full pleasure of living in Georgia. They move here from the West, the Midwest and the Northeast, and soon think: “Oh boy! We’re within a hard day’s drive to the Florida beaches.”

BRACK: 14th Amendment could come into play with debt crisis

By Elliott Brack |  Much of the talk in Washington these days is about whether the Democrats and Republicans can come together with an agreement to raise the national debt limit.  If that doesn’t happen, it could mean that our nation will default on its debt.

By Elliott Brack | One thing for certain: our state, and in particular Metro Atlanta, must step forward with bold measures to reduce the all-too-often shootings. To do nothing is for our community to suffer more.

BRACK: Georgia native should resign from the Supreme Court

By Elliott Brack  |  Improper is what it is. He is guilty of impropriety.  We’re talking about, of all occupations, a U.S. Supreme Court justice.
