Q: Dad, what is the best way to find out what is going on in the world?
A: Read a newspaper. It doesn’t matter if it is this one, though it’s the one you should read for obvious reasons. Just reading a newspaper every day will increase your knowledge and awareness of just about everything going in the world, and you will be amazed at how many things relate to each other. Suddenly your history, economics, sociology, religion and even English classes come into focus and become more real. You also will be entertained.
