The Most Important Election in History

By Matt Barber  

Who says Republicans and Democrats can’t agree? Every four years, politicos and pundits, both left and right, come together in a harmonious hymn of hyperbole: “This is the most important election in history!” they sing.

I think hyperbole is responsible for all of the world’s problems. Still, this time nobody’s exaggerating. What happens on Nov. 6 really is of critical importance. America’s future really does hang in the balance.

PADEREWSKI’S MAGIC TOUCH: HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2012 FESTIVAL IN PASO ROBLES

By Marek Żebrowski

Ignacy Jan Paderewski and his legacy of music, diplomacy, high politics and unprecedented humanitarian initiatives seem to inspire all of those who are introduced to this remarkable man. His world tours always included the United States, a country whose democratic ideals and hospitality impressed him, and he became very fond of Paso Robles, a charming small town on California’s Central Coast. During the years 1914-1939 Paderewski visited Paso on many occasions and, in addition to using the famous hot springs, he made large land investments and became one of California’s pioneers in almond cultivation and winemaking.
