Letters to the editor: CMP vs. Bath ospreys; Growing aquaculture; Volunteers needed to train;
Ruffled feathers I am writing to you from what had been my perfect nesting perch above Leeman Highway in Bath. I have been a summer resident on this power line for decades, and by the way, despite the challenging Maine weather, my nest has lasted longer than some power lines. It is not an easy […]

Tom Purcell: For Mother’s Day — teaching the art of laughter
My mother would have been considered eccentric had she been financially wealthy. She would do almost anything — and wear almost any silly costume — to bring joy into the lives of others, much to the embarrassment of her six children. But she is wealthy in the ways that really matter, and her greatest wealth […]

The Maine Idea: Supreme Court’s delays becoming intolerable
In Washington during the pandemic, I passed by the Supreme Court building often on the way to the Library of Congress. One of the classically inspired “marble temples” built well into the 20th century, it’s also one of the largest, constructed long after the White House and Capitol became symbols of government known throughout the […]

Dick Polman: Supreme Court is goose-stepping for trump in slow motion
Way back when I was a boy, the U.S. Supreme Court was so revered as an institution that my fourth-grade teacher required us to learn the names of all nine members. We kids could never have imagined that there’d come a day when the highest bench in the land would be so widely reviled. And […]

Michael Reagan: It’s not about you, Marjorie
What a good week it should have been for Republicans. Dozens of campuses from UCLA to Columbia University were being wracked by pro-Palestinian protestors who set up “Gaza Solidarity” encampments, spewed antisemitic hate speech, took over buildings and intimidated Jewish students. The protestors demanded their schools condemn Israel’s invasion of Gaza, come out in support […]

The Conversation: Trump promises to deport all undocumented immigrants, resurrecting a 1950s strategy − but it didn’t work then and is less likely to do so now
THE CONVERSATION — While campaigning in Iowa last September, former President Donald Trump made a promise to voters if he were elected again: “Following the Eisenhower model, we will carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history,” he said. Trump, who made a similar pledge during his first presidential campaign, has recently repeated this promise at rallies […]

The Conversation: Media coverage of campus protests tends to focus on the spectacle, rather than the substance
THE CONVERSATION — Protest movements can look very different depending on where you stand, both literally and figuratively. For protesters, demonstrations are usually the result of meticulous planning by advocacy groups and leaders aimed at getting a message out to a wider world or to specific institutional targets. To outside onlookers, however, protests can seem […]

LC Van Savage: On bucket lists and xylophones
I’ve gotten to the age, I guess, where I want to accomplish a few things in my life before I find I’ve shuffled past the accomplishment point of departure place. (OK. That didn’t make sense to me either.) What I mean is that if I’m going to make all the wannabe dreams I’ve had in […]
