Letter to the editor: Climate change is so gradual that most of us won’t notice
The Earth has been going through very long, very slow cycles of warming and cooling for hundreds of millions of years.

Letter to the editor: Preserve American greatness by emulating John McCain in your own life
The Sunday nightly network news had not a single mention of … oh, never mind. Let’s join in praise of Sen.

Letter to the editor: Collins mustn’t enable demise of our democracy
