BOOK REVIEW: 'Many Rivers to Cross'
Peter Robinson's fictional character Detective Superintendent Alan Banks has been the protagonist of a long series of popular crime novels, beginning with 1987's "Gallows View." Originally a detective working in London, Banks grew disillusioned with the big city and transferred to a fictional English town near Yorkshire called Eastvale.
A little 2020 foresight, please
Not to add to apocalyptic associations with the year 2020, but we now find ourselves officially in the Year of the Rat, according to the Chinese calendar -- characterized by chaos. Thanks only to my obscure interest in the Balkans, sparked in 1999 by the shock that a war could be started by the world's superhero nation and my family's refuge from inhumanity, I learned the Serbian word for war: rat.
Can Russia be key in fighting climate change?

Eminem calling for gun control akin to terrorist preaching on peace

U.S. hostages of Iran embassy takeover deserve compensation
There is no question that 9/11 victims deserve restitution, but it shouldn't come at the expense of our fellow U.S. citizens who were held hostage in Iran. The attack and takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was the Iranian regime's first act of terrorism against the U.S.

Democrats owe us millions
Considering that I've heard many Democrats say they wanted more witnesses to see whether President Trump was hiding anything, I'm surprised that they haven't asked for a presidential colonoscopy, too. Nevertheless, I think the taxpayers of this country should be reimbursed by the Democratic Party for the full cost of the phony impeachment hearings that were based on nothing but hearsay, innuendo and unfounded accusations.
What of personal responsibility?
In "Cornel West warns against Bernie Sanders rivals' attempt to sow division" (Web, Jan. 16) writers Seth McLaughlin and David Sherfinski quote Adilka Pimentel, a Bernie Sanders supporter and Make the Road Action member, as follows: "We have been organizing to survive and organizing to live, but now we want to organize to transform society and transform our lives."

How Trump can win Wisconsin
President Donald Trump was in Wisconsin again this week. It is a state that he must win to ensure his reelection in 2020. He should win. But only if his supporters get out and tell the story of his positive impact on people all across that state -- and around the country.
