Early on, even before he was the front-runner, TV news was giving Trump far more attention than other candidates and far more than he deserved.
Bipartisanship is really tough to achieve when everyone on both sides is left with a bad, bad taste in their mouths.
The government sets targets for increased four-year high school graduation rates as part of its agenda for improving Americans' health.
Some women are smarter than men, and some aren't. But to suggest to women that they deserve dominance instead of equality is at best a cheap applause line.
My friends in the TV news business are in a state of despair about Donald Trump, even as their bosses in the boardroom are giddy over what he's doing for their once sagging ratings.
It's the way tenure works, together with dismissal protections that tenured teachers have, that no other public employee has, which makes it almost impossible to remove a grossly ineffective and incompetent teacher or, in some cases, even an abusive teacher.
After a 15-year career in television news, sometimes spent biting my tongue in the name of objectivity and balance, I retired to raise our two small children.
