Ask Cruz: Volume VIII
Posted by Jon Cruz in the Ask Cruz categoryNEW YORK, N.Y. — Today’s “Ask Cruz” has a whole lot of David Wolfish, and a whole lot of Ernie Rose. And no, it’s not about past Glenbrooks quarterfinals rounds. (Did you two debate elsewhere? That’s the only round I could think of while typing this. Okay, back to the post.) David and Ernie just […]

Ask Cruz: Volume II
Posted by Jon Cruz in the Ask Cruz categoryNEW YORK, N.Y. — WOW! I received a lot of debate trivia questions, and, being the unashamed nerd I am, I’ve gone to work answering them. (I’m both strangely proud and understandably embarrassed that I knew the answers to the majority of them off the top of my head.)
