On Wednesday, as I was sitting down to enjoy a quick lunch in the atrium of the Avenue, a black bird flew straight into the tall glass pane right next to my table. It stuck the glass with a loud thud and fell straight to the ground.
Forest clear-cutting column very misleading
The column that was recently printed about forest clear-cutting may have been misleading to many of your readers. First: Correct, Canada is a major supplier of lumber to the United States.
Living by Bible’s word is easier said than done
Andrew, you wrote a letter claiming that “The Bible, God’s word, is not some trend like Vans slip-ons; it is immutable.” If that is unfailingly true, I hope you intend to follow all of the rules. I believe there are…
Guest column misunderstood college based fee issues
