    Froma Harrop: Yankee ingenuity: Ukraine’s powerful weapon

    Though Ukraine enjoys enormous support from the United States and others, military experts are astounded at how its fighters jury-rigged slow Turkish-made Bayraktar attack drones to drop grenades on Russian assets. They gussied up an old Soviet anti-ship missile design by adding modern electronics. They loaded the renamed "Neptune" missiles on a truck, drove it within range of Russia's flagship, and down went the Moskva to the bottom of the Black Sea.

    Leonard Pitts Jr.: How yesteryear’s moral panic becomes today’s soft sell

    It is ... each generation’s solemn duty to outrage the one that came before. And if you are a member of the one that came before, you would do well to recall how it was when you were the one doing the outraging. And to take solace in the fact that controversy inevitably becomes commodity.

So is "Gutsy" for women who want to open a central vein to the sisterhood?

    The people of Maine need to understand that if we do not invest in our criminal court system, basic due process rights will continue to be eroded.
