Federal level isn't where it's all at during election season

In My Opinion | All I Remember Is...

by Matt Petryni

The vast amounts of attention this year dedicated to the Presidential race (serving America since Late November 2006!) I fear has distracted some attention away from the more minor races going on around the country. While this is probably reasonable, the media frenzy of "Decision '08" should not let us forget the dozen or so other boxes we might have to check in May and November.

Claims of Morse Center's wrongdoings absolutely false

Guest Commentary

A recent guest columnist, George Beres, made the unfounded suggestion that the Wayne Morse Center does not honor the legacy of Senator Morse in its programming decisions ("Morse Center should focus on the Constitution," ODE April 1). As a Resident Scholar at the Morse Center for this academic year, and a scholar of the Constitution and of individual rights under it, I can say firsthand that this claim is based on nothing more than the writer's imagination.
