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

EDITORIAL: Mammary menace in Manhattan

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. Published August 24, 2015

Published August 24, 2015
EDITORIAL: Anchor babies and an adult dilemma
There's nothing new about anchor babies. Only the nomenclature has changed.

EDITORIAL: Abundant oil changes U.S. energy policy

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
