CHAUTAUQUA—In part because of all of the history that fills Boston, it’s a fun American city to visit. If you’re there from April through September, a baseball game at Fenway Park is also good to attend, unless perhaps you’re a fan of a rival of the Boston Red Sox.

Nin Privitera, former Fredonia resident, offers some offbeat takes on recent headlines: — A woman who was raised by monkeys in a South American jungle was shocked the first time she saw her reflection in a mirror. Big deal! For me, that was every day in junior high school. — The state of Tennessee just botched the execution of a 50 year old woman. She survived two lethal injections but authorities may try killing her again after consulting with Dr. Anthony Fauci. — President Trump may be on the verge of doing it again.
