I was in line at the defunct Big Bear Market in San Diego’s North County right behind Athol Fugard several years ago. I took a somewhat guilty pleasure in telling the clerk whom he had just checked out.
Athol Fugard, South African Playwright Who Dissected Apartheid, Dies at 92
In works that included “Blood Knot,” “Sizwe Banzi Is Dead” and “The Island,” he exposed the realities of racial separatism in his homeland.

Sara Jacobs on CNN rn. She continues to make San Diego proud
One reason I’m strongly against Trump’s tariffs on Mexico and Canada: it could raise gas prices in San Diego anywhere from 9 to 20 cents per gallon. You’ll pay more at the pump just because Trump wants to seem “tough.”
