(Letter to the Editor ~ 02/10/98)
To the editor: I read an article once that was written by a liberal columnist who was trying to convince the public that liberals were the salt of the earth.

Thus, witness the rapid growth of what accurately is called the global economy, the computer revolution, growing democratization and the somewhat increased effectiveness of the United Nations...

(Local News ~ 02/10/98)
A lack of American medal winners at the Winter Olympics doesn't seem to frustrate local enthusiasts from enjoying the games.
