    The is working, and the Middle East and the entire world are much safer for it. I join the leaders of Germany, France, Great Britain, China, and Russia, as well as peace-loving men & women around the world, in encouraging –even imploring– Mr. Trump to keep it in place.

    Congratulations to the Village of Glenview, Illinois EPA, & the Glenview community on a well-deserved award! As all residents of Glenview know, The Glen is a prime example of the great things that can be accomplished when local govts and federal agencies team up & get to work.
