The frenzied struggle between gun-rights, and gun-control advocates will never cease. Ideology trumps non-controversial, pragmatic efforts to reduce gun-related trauma. In 1997, along with colleagues David Grossman and Fred Rivara at the Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center, I helped a campaign for safe storage of handguns. We promoted push-button ...

Your brief comment about the late Jack Metcalf. I disagreed with most of his political positions, but always found him gracious and willing to listen.

I agree that the Times series on Amazon is excellent civic journalism. I have so many snooty friends who say, "I never read that terrible paper." It's another way of saying, "I don't care about my local community." Of course I don't agree with all that is written. But I ...

I too saw the Sunday matinee performance, and was enthralled. My favorite productions at Seattle opera turn out to be those with which I am not familiar. Don Quichotte certainly fits that bill. The previous writer describes the audience reaction at the end. I think because the final poignant scenes ...

Mike, can you explain what Howard Lincoln and Chuck Armstrong actually do? I know they have different job titles. But their names are always linked together like Siamese twins. How do they spend their days? Oscarb

There is a small problem with your reasoning, BlueLight. The rights and benefits for Indians were spelled in treaties as a price for THEIR land.

It would be helpful to know the job descriptions of Howard Lincoln, and Chuck Armstrong. They are always referred to as one entity. What's the difference between a CEO and President? Do they have to fill out time sheets at the office? Perhaps they are job-sharing as many pairs do ...
