Over the next 10 weeks, federal lawyers and state attorneys general will try to prove at trial that Google rigged the market in its favor by locking in its search engine as the default choice in a plethora of places and devices.

The Recycle Bin: Living as if the world is sacred
Maine parks and lakes invite Mainers and visitors into close connection with nature in peaceful observation of sacred plants and animals. During early-morning canoe paddles on Moosehead Lake, my husband and I watched a cooperative flock of mergansers drive fish into dense balls that they could more easily catch. We crossed paths with a fishing […]
Seniors Not Acting Their Age: Downeast hike and bike
When our friends, Susan and Ken Gordon, invited my wife, Nancy, and I to join them and several other frequent outdoor companions for a multi-day adventure vacation in Downeast Maine and on Campobello Island in New Brunswick, an affirmative answer was easy. The chance to share hiking, biking and sea kayaking escapades with them was […]
Dick Polman: Nikki Haley’s shameless, fascist-adjacent flip-flops
I’ll go out on a limb and take a wild guess that you didn’t watch Nikki Haley make a fool of herself on TV two weekends ago. I was reminded of a sentence penned centuries ago by none other than the Marquis de Sade: “Those who have no principles are never more dangerous than when […]
Letter to the editor: 9/11 events not given adequate billing
Why didn’t this newspaper list 9/11 remembrance ceremonies in a prominent spot in Sunday’s paper? Looks like there was more than one 9/11 remembrance ceremony held Monday morning. Why didn’t you tell us about these ahead of time? Listing them in Monday’s paper was too late to make plans to attend. There was plenty of […]
Letter to the editor: Garland cartoon crosses the line

Wright’s cartoon image of Garland’s profile played to antisemitic tropes of a Machiavellian Jew (complete with hooked nose) out to injure the […]
Letter to the editor: Questionable reasoning on old Children’s Museum
The argument in favor of removing the Portland structure’s historical designation seems aimed at short-term gain.
Commentary: More and more, acupuncture complements other health care
The complementary health service, which is seeking Medicare provider status recognition, can offer patients relief and healing while they await their next doctor’s appointment.
Commentary: I’m a Republican mother – birth control should stay legal
Every American deserves the freedom to use contraception when needed and the assurance that the government will never take that right away.
Letter to the editor: Speak out against civilian casualties
Civilians never enlist to be murdered, destroyed, maimed; to be collateral damage or bomb and missile targets (“A Russian strike on a city market in eastern Ukraine kills 17 and wounds dozens, officials say,” Sept. 6). Not anywhere. Not in Ukraine, Russia, Sudan, Dresden, Vietnam, Syria, Ethiopia, Tigray, central Africa, Israel, West Bank, Hiroshima. Not […]
