...Bucolic Bacchanalia” (Postcard, July 1) by Matthew A. Busch. Aside from his sardonic tone to describe our town—one would think that a writer for such a publication would think of something more witty than the easy target “Dixfield”—he egregiously misquoted our town’s motto. Upon entering Dixfield, drivers are greeted with signs reading “The Only One,” not “It’s the only one,” as Busch wrote. This seemingly slight error reads...

Time Inc. had appealed the case all the way to the Supreme Court...
Chalk June 27, 2005, as another date that may live in Supreme Court infamy. On Monday, the justices rejected an appeal by two reporters, the New York Times’ Judith Miller and Time magazine’s Matthew Cooper, who refused to disclose the names of confidential sources to a grand jury investigating the leak of a CIA operative’s identity. Abrams is the duo’s lawyer. He may be “speaking freely,” but his clients could soon find themselves behind bars. Just yesterday, Time said it would release Cooper?...
