Today is my last day as a reporter. I’m retiring after 44 years as a reporter/editor in small towns from New Hampshire to Havre in Montana. Fortune mag...

Yet for me, August has always been about something else - the return of football. If you look around the country, you will see NFL teams opening training camp and soon, if they haven't begun already, high school and college football teams will follow suit. Of course, the Havre Blue Ponies won't start...
