...shame that our world leaders, when faced with an imminent crisis, can think only of their wallets. The rapid melting of the Arctic ice cap is the most obvious consequence of a global climate change that has the potential to cause increases in species loss, infectious diseases and extreme weather events. Instead of focusing on how to solve this impending tragedy, politicians are fighting to exploit it. Elina El-Badry, Gaithersburg...
...Those of us who served in uniform indeed took righteous "umbrage" at one of our own being called duplicitous and basically unfit to wear the uniform.

Kenneth M. Currie, Lieut. Colonel, USAF (ret.), Indian Harbour Beach...
...concise club names. But some students have lost sight of this last one, choosing names that leave their clubs with unfortunate acronyms or throwing in unnecessary words to achieve cutesy backronyms.

The myriad foreign cuisines to pair with beer: wiener schnitzel, sauerkraut, or for those adventurous festival-goers out there, spicy Thai noodles and Indian curry. 11. It doesn’t require a party grant. 12. It’s cheaper than studying abroad...
With its elegant selection of wines that don’t come in a box, cheeses you can’t pronounce without a French citation, and imported candies that put your $0.99 bag of CVS candy corn to shame, Cardullo’s Gourmet Shoppe doesn’t seem like a traditional hangout for home-grown Red Sox fans. For savvy local Sox fans, however, that’s exactly what it is. Twenty-odd square patrons huddled around the 42-inch flat screen in Cardullo’s front window last Tuesday for the first game...
