On the one-year-anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, I have asked what people here in the USA think of it. A Vietnam War veteran and two of my Russian-speaking friends voiced their opinions. Take a listen. South Florida February 25, 2023

Venezia Biennale 2022
The 59th edition of the Venezia Biennale is finally here. It's headed by Cecilia Alemani. The theme of the show is "The Milk of Dreams." Here are my highlights of the exhibition. For the first time in its 127-year history the majority of the artists are women. The Russian Pavilion is closed this year, while Ukraine occupies a prominent spot. Finally, the U.S. Pavilion is transformed into a West African palace. Chicago-based artist Simone Leigh is the winner of Golden Lion for the Best Participant Award. Due to the limited time, I only saw the Giardini, hopefully, I will re-visit this summer to see the Arsenale part. The exhibition runs till November 27, 2022.
Megan Kwasniak| Border Volunteer
The war in Ukraine is still going on. While most of us in America try to help with whatever we can, some decide to go to the border. I recently spoke with such a volunteer. Megan Kwasniak, an E.R. physician of Polish descent, just returned from Polish-Ukrainian border. Take a listen.
