The husband did not have the energy to fight both lawsuit and cancer. They won the lawsuit, but he lost to cancer.

The type of hot-button political grievances that make it to the HN front page are an indication of the demographics here.

Business owners worried about baseless accusations funded by megacorp educational institutions?
