SMITH: Why Is Attorney Lehmann Being An Attorney Bolton?

A very respected Granite Stater made an intriguing comment about a member of the Senate that I was complaining about.  However, this tipster did not want to be identified and refused to answer any questions related to the tip.  I spent some time considering how I could learn more without exposing the informant, so I … Read more

SMITH: A PLAQUE To Smile About

I had the most unusual routine office visit at the dentist yesterday, but the story really begins a long time ago in a city far away.  Actually, it was about 5 years ago in Nashua, and it personalizes the words “COVID theater” because my former dentist, Dr Pipilas, is big into theater.  In my almost … Read more
