(Letter to the Editor ~ 01/13/08)
To the Editor: A recent article in The Times touted a new tutoring service as being the only online/on demand tutoring service available. Well, they are half right anyway.

Electoral College? Lose it
(Column ~ 01/13/08)
The race for the White House has heated up; and this celebration of the so-called "art of politics" escapes me. Believe it or not, although I am a news reporter, I really hate politics. Each year political pundits argue minute differences in opinion about war, crime, insurance, welfare, taxation, equal rights, education and other topics they fundamentally agree upon, but won't admit they do...
