To my great surprise, President Donald Trump's reaction to the Halloween night terrorist attack in New York made me miss the thoughtful eloquence of President George W. Bush. Ol' Dubya wasn't known to be a master of oratory, most of the time, but when the world needed some words of comfort, hope and resolve after the shock of Sept.
Massachusetts wants to permanently switch to Atlantic Time, which is one hour ahead of Eastern Time. It would not roll back one hour on the first Sunday of November, when daylight saving time ends, nor move the clock ahead one hour in March when it begins.

The terrorist who killed eight people in a Manhattan truck attack has focused the eyes of the world on Uzbekistan, an obscure country that until a string of recent attacks had been known mostly for its brutal repression. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a press conference Wednesday that President Trump is considering adding the Central Asian country, the homeland of 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov, to the list of states restricted in his travel ban.
Yesterday afternoon, Senator Bernie Sanders provided yet another example of his political myopia . Appearing at a Manhattan subway station, he endorsed New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio-who is currently running for reelection-specifically praising the incumbent mayor's newly-proposed, statewide 'millionaires' tax.'
This undated photo provided by St. Charles County Department of Corrections via KMOV shows the Sayfullo Saipov. A man in a rented pickup truck mowed down pedestrians and cyclists along a busy bike path near the World Trade Center memorial on Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2017, killing several.
Federal prosecutors brought terrorism charges Wednesday against the Uzbek immigrant accused in the truck rampage that left eight people dead, saying he carried out the attack in response to the Islamic State group's online calls to action. Authorities said the driver of the rented Home Depot truck, 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov, watched ISIS videos on his cellphone and picked Halloween for the attack on a bike lane in lower Manhattan because he knew more people would be out on the streets.
Congressman Eliot L. Engel, a top member on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, marked the start of the health insurance open enrollment period by encouraging New Yorkers to explore their insurance options and sign up for coverage.

Just after Thanksgiving Day in 1983, James Downey dropped off his older brother, John, at a Houston bus station, then quickly turned away so neither the police nor a motorcycle gang affiliated with his brother could later demand details about where the bus was headed. For 34 years, he didn't hear a word about him.
President Donald Trump is urging swift repeal of an immigration program that brought the New York truck attack suspect to America. Trump insists Congress must end the visa lottery program under which Uzbek immigrant Sayfullo Saipov entered the country, and he has ordered still tighter scrutiny of immigrants already subject to what he calls "extreme vetting."
Gov. Cuomo and U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer on Sunday reflected on Hurricane Sandy and said New York has come back stronger and smarter. During the joint appearance in Oceanside, L.I., to announce a Nassau County water treatment plant project, Cuomo invoked Winston Churchill's motto of "never given in" to say how New York tackled the aftermath of the devastating storm.
A federal appeals court handed the U.S. government a victory Tuesday in its fight against lawsuits opposing a decision to end a program protecting some young immigrants from deportation. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan directed Brooklyn judges to expeditiously decide if a court can properly review the decision to end in March the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA.
Once again, little Andy Cuomo is kicking sand in little Bill de Blasio's face, this time over an East Harlem playground named, aptly enough, for the Marx Brothers. The mayor wants to let a developer, Avalon Bay, put up a 68-story tower on the site .
In this Saturday, Oct. 21, 2017, file photo, Myeshia Johnson kisses the casket of her husband, Sgt. La David Johnson during his burial service at Fred Hunter's Hollywood Memorial Gardens in Hollywood, Fla.
Envisioning a day when millions of drones will buzz around delivering packages, watching crops or inspecting pipelines, a coalition is creating an airspace corridor in upstate New York where traffic management systems will be developed and unmanned aircraft can undergo safety and performance testing. The unmanned aircraft traffic management corridor, jump-started by a $30 million state investment, will extend 50 miles west over mostly rural farmland from Griffiss International Airport, a former Air Force base in Rome that is already home to NASA-affiliated drone testing.
So there's been a lot of hubbub over White House Chief of Staff John Kelly's press conference , which sought to diffuse the tension created over President Trump's call to Myeshia Johnson, husband of the late Army Special Forces Sgt. La David Johnson, this week.
Laura Frances Weyl and Richard Louis Kimmel were married Oct. 14 at the Elizabeth Street Garden in New York. Robert Kimmel, the groom's father, who is ordained by the Universal Life Church, officiated.
