When Diogenes climbed out of his bed in a large water jar, he went for a walk around Athens; with a lantern. He had become so disgusted with the moral character of senators that he wandered looking for an honest man so he could light him up for recognition. That was 2300 years ago and I have ...
Utah families have long understood that each of their children is unique and learns differently. Rebecca, a Salt Lake City mom of a 7-year old, watched her son struggle in public school under a mountain of worksheets and requirements to sit still. So she brought him home, where he has since ...
Washington's pink cherry blossoms, a spring sight for sore eyes, are about to be whacked. The Park Service says 150 trees must be cut down to build a new seawall round the Tidal Basin, where the marble Jefferson Monument perches perfectly on the water. That calls up the legend of young George ...
In the debate over the future of higher education, an erroneous assumption lingers like inverted air pollution over the Salt Lake Valley: that the pinnacle of academic research and its impact on our world is reserved for the ivied halls of elite institutions of higher education, and regional ...

My state ghosted the primary. Well, not everyone did, but more than enough did to make turnout historically low. Nearly four out of five registered voters in Chicago, for example, skipped the election. (That's to say nothing of the folks who never registered in the first place.) The figures ...
Very few Americans appreciate how useful the Electoral College has been to Vladimir Putin. Over two decades ago, George W. Bush was installed as president after losing the popular vote to his opponent by more than 543,000 votes. Putin publicly used our flawed election as an excuse to take the ...
Dana Fuchs’ March 22 guest column is dangerous, hateful propaganda. No one wants animals to be euthanized for lack of homes—least of all, the compassionate people who must perform this act of mercy in order to keep shelters’ doors open to the endless stream of animals in need. But forcing ...
