...proud, loyal Democrat who is opposed to the candidacy of Senator Hillary Clinton for President [Nov. 19]. I have no problem with her positions on the issues or her little sashay to the right in anticipation of the general election. And my opposition certainly does not rise to the level of hatred.

...nationwide who regularly use oral contraceptives have seen their pills’ cost skyrocket. For cash-strapped students, this price increase amounts to a serious burden, one that makes it substantially more difficult for them to afford necessary contraception and is therefore a hindrance to practicing safe sex. The rise in prices is the result of a national law that recently went into effect: the 2005 Deficit Reduction Act.
