The First Swine ‘Flew’ Pandemic
By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “The 2009 flu pandemic was the second H1N1 pandemic the world had seen — the first being the 1918 Spanish flu, still the most deadly pandemic in history. The 2009 pandemic was caused by a new strain of H1N1 that originated in Mexico in the spring of 2009 before […]

Answering, he heard his wife’s voice urgently warning him, “Herman, I just heard it on the news that there’s a car right now going the wrong way on the same road you’re traveling. Please, please, be […]
Election Coverage
By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “It was shortly before the election. Reporters seemed to be having trouble getting one candidate to give straight answers to questions. Finally, they cornered him and demanded a straight response to any question, not necessarily even a political question. One reporter asked, ‘What is your favorite color? You can […]

By Jeff Larson, The Back Pew “It doesn’t take millions of citizen-activists who are continually engaged to make a difference.
