By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
I realize that many people find the pomp and circumstance of the British Aristocracy silly. I, however, am enamored by it. And, the fact that American commoner Megan Markle can snatch a prince gives us all hope, right? (Sorry, present husband)

Don’t blame Trump for all of this chaos
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times
I remember taking my mother to the hospital in December of 1992. X-rays showed a mass in her lung. By June, 1993, she was gone.
We blamed the cancer. But in truth, it was all those years of smoking Pall Mall Gold 100s — as a kid, she used send me down to the local deli to pick up a couple of packs, which she smoked every day until about five years before she...

By Denny Dyroff, Entertainment Editor, The Times
Winterthur
If spring in the Delaware Valley this year were a baby in the womb, the doctors would surely have been working on induced labor by now. The vestiges of a long, grueling winter refuse to go away and spring continues a rectangle to emerge.

April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month
By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, The Times
Every month is awareness for so many things now. In Healthcare alone April has 7 major awareness items slated for April. Not to mention awareness weeks.
