LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Selective separation-of-powers outrage

EDITORIAL: Another economic bubble about to burst?

Good economic news hit the wires last week, with the wires humming a tune we haven't heard in a while. There were 208,000 new jobs created in July, and the economy grew at 3 percent. So why did the stock market take this as a signal to sell? Published August 1, 2014

EDITORIAL: An Indian success story

A city without government-provided electricity, water, sewerage, police or public transportation sounds like a nightmare. For many residents of Gurgaon, a bustling city just outside New Delhi, the Indian capital, it's a dream come true. Published August 1, 2014

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: ‘Redskins’ hardly the only offender

"Hillary Clinton declares war on the Redskins, says name 'insensitive'" (Web, July 29) says Mrs. Clinton is joining the Democrats in deeming the Redskins' name "insensitive." The upheaval around the Redskins' name is warranted, but there is a bigger issue at play here. Published August 1, 2014

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Atheists, let up on 9/11 cross

As a middle-school teacher of social justice and religious tolerance, I was disappointed to read in your July 29 article "Saving The 9/11 Cross" that the group American Atheists thinks that the "Ground Zero Cross" should not be displayed in the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum.

FILE- In a June 20, 2014 file photo, Michigan Republican Gov. Rick Snyder speaks during an interview before signing legislation to provide state funding for Detroit municipal pensions in Detroit. Snyder defied fellow members of the GOP by supporting the Medicaid expansion in the federal health care law, committing state money to help Detroit emerge from bankruptcy and vetoing Republican gun, abortion and voter ID bills. Now the upbeat Snyder is facing a tough bid for a second term. Many Republicans don’t know what to make of his neutrality on social issues and his reluctance to bash Democrats. And he’s still made plenty of enemies among Democrats and their allies in organized labor. (AP Photo/File)
