Council Corner: Balancing and prioritizing Scarborough’s priorities
“Prioritizing the priorities” is a phrase that I’m starting to hear more and more frequently.

Letter: Praising college protests is myopic view of Israel-Hamas war
The lens through which Abdi Nor Iftin sees the college protests in his Forecaster column the week of May 9 (“College protests in U.S. a ray of hope for Gazans“) provides him quite a myopic view.
