Letter to the editor: Dream of Maine keeps coming true
I blame Barbara Cooney for much of my love affair with Maine and, in lesser part, the rest of New England. I met my grandmother, principally, in the pages of “Miss Rumphius,” and envisioned myself as a child of the simpler life in “Island Boy.” A childhood in the suburbs of New York City left […]

Letter to the editor: Proposed MaineCare changes would cut safety net for mentally ill
I am concerned about the proposed changes to MaineCare that would severely limit community based services for the mentally ill.

Letter to the editor: Republican obstructionism could put Obama on court
As the Republican-controlled Senate deigns not even to consider the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Merrick Garland, as their constitutional obligation requires, imagine that the Democrats win the presidency and control of the Senate in the 2016 election.

Letter to the editor: ‘Today’s Birthdays’ omits many key famous people
My wife and I enjoy quizzing each other about how old the folks are who are listed in your “Today’s Birthdays” on Page A2. But too often we are frustrated by the many famous people who are not listed. Last Saturday, you failed to list actress Ursula Andress (age 80), actor Bruce Willis (age 61) […]
