Gift-giving season has arrived with its usual fanfare: fantastic sales, “White Christmas” muzak, craft fairs of all sorts and every imaginable incarnation of the North Pole crew. For my part, I’ve taken both the Buy Local pledge and the Simplify-the-Holidays pledge. The two occasionally conflict, of course (wouldn’t it be simplest to buy nothing?), but … Continue Reading
I read with interest your article on the Freeborn Hall meeting on Nov. 22. What jumped out at me was the defensive, vacuous remark by Vice Chancellor John Meyer that ”the police have a lot of discretion in the field.” Whose job is it to train the campus policemen? Apparently, according to the chancellor’s remarks, it’s not hers. … Continue Reading
I keep hearing, “Why can’t Occupy UC Davis be like those great protests of our past? Like the peace protests? Everyone was behind those students at Kent State.” A Gallup Poll conducted one week after the Kent State shootings found that 58 percent of the public blamed the students themselves, while only 11 percent blamed … Continue Reading

We strongly believe that … Continue Reading
The issue: Tehran’s erratic conduct comes against a backdrop of increasingly belligerent Iranian missile threats to its neighbors The Iranian government steams that the West doesn’t respect 4,000 years of Persian culture. Neither, one can argue, does the current harsh clerical leadership and corruptly elected government in Tehran. THE LEADERSHIP, through the various thuggish branches … Continue Reading
The issue: New laws impose tougher penalties, including mandatory jail time for the most serious cheats In Italy, tax evasion is somewhere between a folk art and a way of life. As a nation, Italians have given themselves generous cuts in their taxes by the simple expedient of not paying them. THE RESULT IS that … Continue Reading
The issue: The end of Assad’s rule is in sight, and the increasingly vital question is what kind of system will follow The Arab League’s traditional response to trouble in its ranks has been a combination of passivity and uncertainty. Last March, the 22-member league surprised the world and perhaps itself by calling on the … Continue Reading
By Aparna Sinha I have read and heard every argument there is for UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi’s resignation. After witnessing a lot of what happened on Nov. 18, I was foaming at the mouth with rage for Katehi and Police Chief Annette Spiccuza. In fact, I wrote a caustic email that Friday night, asking … Continue Reading
