There aren't many college students whose
grasp of their classwork can make an immediate and profound difference

Views
on 'values'
The Times calls building a fence on the
southern U.S. border a simplistic solution. I would like to ask
The Times, six years after 9/11, how can we call ourselves safe
when we don't know who is entering the country? If millions of
penniless illegal immigrants can walk across our borders annually,
why can't well-trained and financed terrorists do the same? |

Flim-flam
Huckabee
An excellent article appeared in Wednesday's
edition of the Washington Times and merits your consideration,
not only in terms of evaluating Presidential Candidate Huckabee,
but to also understand the concerns I have about most politicians

the craft of creating illusions. |

L. A. mayor
Los Angeles can and should be the envy of the
world. Instead, our city is a mess, and it gets worse each month.
We can't afford four more years of a mayor who spends all his
time running for the next office, staging photo-ops and going
on out- of- town trips. We need a competent, full-time working
mayor... [Watch
