Lynn Spruill: Scare tactics
Some things just leave you speechless.
Susan Estrich: Ben and Bernie's world
In the wake of the horrors in Paris, it only made sense to change the focus of Saturday night's Democratic debate from economic issues to national security, as CBS News did.
Our View: Let's talk sex
It began with a career day presentation by a student at Starkville High School, soon became an online petition to demand the teacher of that class be returned to the classroom and today is the subject of an investigation by the Starkvile-Oktibbeha Consolidated School District.
Froma Harrop: A tale of two terrors: Paris and New York
Like most people, I'm thinking of the terrorist trauma in Paris, though with a somewhat different perspective.
Leonard Pitts: Paris, the City of Light
Slimantics: 'Tis the season for fear and anger
Sometimes events happen that are so horrific, so shocking that we find it difficult to process. The Paris terrorist attacks, which left 129 dead, many more injured, and the rest of the world unnerved, is the most recent example.
Froma Harrop: The Paris attacks and what must change
Many French people referred to the January attacks on the offices of French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo and other sites as their 9/11. As awful as that time was, it was not a 9/11.
Patrick Buchanan: Is Putin our ally in Syria?
Among the presidential candidates of the Republican Party and their foreign policy leaders on Capitol Hill the cry is almost universal: Barack Obama has no strategy for winning the war on ISIS.
Rheta Johnson: A bathtub, some clowns, now terror
I am in my quiet spot on this earth today, but thinking only of another place, another country, a good friend.
Voice of the people: Bill Boggess
Voice of the people: Mike Willis
Possumhaw: Splish splash, taking a bath
The rains came down and the floods came up, and I did not complain. The kittens played on the porch to avoid wet grass on their feet, gardenia leaves brushing their faces, and dripping rain on their soft kitten fur.
Charlie Mitchell: Demands in Missouri shrill and baffling, but also real
Everything that follows assumes people of good will, who believe in equality of opportunity and rejoice when any person has a happy and successful life, outnumber everybody else.
Ask Rufus: Tibbee, a prehistoric oral tradition
Friday night I was asked to tell stories at a "lock-in" for the West Point Episcopal Church's youth group. I was reminded of how, with all the interest in Facebook, Twitter and other forms of social media, the passing down of oral traditions from generation to generation by story tellers is being lost.
Birney Imes: A blue light in the rear-view mirror
A friend and I were talking about law enforcement the other day. "How many times have you been stopped and searched by the police?" J. asked. We're about the same age. "None, at least not since college," I said. "What about you?" "Four times," he said. He happens to be black, well educated and prominent in his community.
