- 10/30/14 - The Great Caper - Years of running drugs and boosting cars left FRANK BOURASSA thinking: There's got to be an easier way to earn a dishonest living.

And though introverts certainly aren't better than extroverts, it still stands true that America (among other societies) praises outgoing, outspoken behavior and it's sometimes nice to be reminded that we aren't alone.
