EDITORIAL: Ashley Madison hack breaking hearts

Halos slip. Every fallen angel knows that. The ordinary man has enough smarts to set it aright if he can, and promise himself to behave next time. Bein' good, as Roberta Flack sang of preachers' sons, isn't always easy. Published August 26, 2015

An activist marches in the protest march called the GoTopless Day Parade Sunday, Aug. 23, 2015, in New York. The parade took to the streets to counter critics who are complaining about topless tip-seekers in Times Square. Appearing bare-breasted is legal in New York. But Mayor Bill de Blasio and police Commissioner Bill Bratton say the body-painted women in the square who take photos with tourists are a nuisance. (AP Photo/Kevin Hagen) ** FILE **

EDITORIAL: Mammary menace in Manhattan

EDITORIAL: Shady climate change data roil debate

Everybody knows July is hot, unless he lives somewhere below the equator, where the seasons are upside down. Government scientists say this past month was the hottest July ever. Published August 25, 2015

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: ‘Welfare’ abuse extends further up

Both "Boot camp, not benefits" and "When welfare beats work" (Web, Aug. 19) make good points: Welfare for the poor is expensive and too comfortable and it fosters mutual political dependence between recipients and government -- and of course, we need to do something about the whole thing.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: End for Hillary Clinton?

Many of us on the far-right end of the dial have taken up chortling and raucous merriment in response to Hillary Clinton's plunging poll numbers, rising disapproval ratings and generally dismal summer ("Donald Trump gains ground as support for Hillary Clinton slips," Web, Aug. 19).

With hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens pouring across the border over the past decades, many of them are looking for an anchor to keep them in place in the new world. A 6-pound baby might do it. Published August 24, 2015

EDITORIAL: Abundant oil changes U.S. energy policy

The markets and American technology are turning the Obama administration's original energy policies around by 180 degrees. There's still a lot to do, particularly by Congress, so long besotted with subsidies for certain powerful lobbies. But prospects are bullish. Published August 23, 2015

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Democrats seek vote replacements

Democrats need black citizens as "customers" and a source of baby body parts for the abortion industry. They also need black men and women as voters, since 90-plus percent of black votes go to Democrats. Published August 23, 2015

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: GOP is party of ‘we can’t’

Talk about the GOP feeding its voters a cow chip. That's what it felt like when we were told recently that if the Republican Party got the Senate back, things could happen to curtail a runaway administration. Well, what has happened so far is a whole bunch of nothing. Published August 23, 2015

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Teachers hardly overpaid

Isn't there something wrong with a Harvard professor cooking up surveys with questionable methodology in order to get in a kick at public-school teachers' pay rates ("Teachers and schools are funded at a higher rate than most people know," Web, Aug. 13)? Published August 23, 2015

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Come together for transportation
