In the summer of 1996, a Missoula writer attacked Butte and the people who live here in a national magazine.

Eight months after running the New York Marathon in just over 4 hours, I finished the 26.2 mile race in Missoula in 3 hours, 47 minutes. Even though my knees were killing me after the

By Bill Foley If you are not a New England Patriots fan, it is certainly understandable why you do not like Tom Brady. He is as likeable as Eric Trump. He has a fake smile and a butt chin that looks as ridiculous as the one Jim Carrey sported at the end of Me, Myself
