North Salem Author's Book Hits The Small Screen As Amazon Prime Show NORTH SALEM, N.Y. --  Lynn Povich thought she was writing history when she published "Good Girls Revolt" in 2012.

Trump's comments on "Access Hollywood." And now, folks can get a taste of what life was like for women trying to make a name for themselves in …

Conversely, our most familiar species, the red-tailed hawk, is with us for the entire year. Other species, such as the bald eagle, both migrate through the area and winter locally, particularly along major bo…
