If you need to feed a crowd, this ham will be your perfect protein. You could order a ham and spend upward of $80, but when it's this easy to make at home, why not? Hams are always on special this time of year. Smoked, unglazed ham is my favorite, and most come spiral-sliced these days. Because it is already cooked, it only needs to be heated through (usually 10 to 12 minutes per pound), so it's super-easy. You'll most likely have a sugary glaze packet in the ham package, but...

More than a half-century ago, in the dark November days after the Kennedy assassination, White House officials set the date for members of Lyndon B. Johnson’s family to move from their home in Washington’s Spring Valley into the executive mansion: Dec. 7, 1963. Lady Bird Johnson was aghast. “I wished it could have been the 6th or the 8th or the 9th,” she told me almost 16 years ago. She thought that moving into the White House on Dec. 7 was, as she put it in that long-ago conversation, “a day of ill omen.” Hardly anyone aliv...
It’s an unfortunate reality of our current political system that problems usually don’t get fixed until they near crisis proportions. And that’s what we’re approaching with our badly broken immigration system: a crisis. Our border security is failing.

And we have nearly 11 million undocumented immigrants living here illegally. No more kicking the can down the road. It’s time to addres...
