In rebuttal: Rudolph Ziehm: ‘Malarkey’ that Biden is the wrong leader
In rebuttal to Mr. Joe Voisine of Florida (Nov. 10, “‘No malarkey’ that Biden is wrong leader for America“). Malarkey you say?

Marilyn Burgess: Loyal to the pocketbook, not people
I have become resigned to the fact that team owners and executives are only loyal to the pocketbook, but they better produce a result in that effort. Chaim Bloom has not done that with the Red Sox. He took a pennant winning team to a last place team in short order. He made lousy personnel […]

Patricia D. Tibbetts: This is what ‘good sportsmanship’ looks like
I am writing regarding a photo by Russ Dillingham that appeared in the Oct. 30 edition of the Lewiston Sun Journal in the Sports section.

Froma Harrop: Freedom to boycott is free speech, too
In advertising, as in real estate, it’s location, location, location. A Twitter without some moderation is one ugly neighborhood. And it’s not like there aren’t other platforms to patronize.
