    • American way is not best for everyone, for Elian (Letter to the Editor )
      For the most part, Americans accept differences in opinion, lifestyle and ideology; however, there are those in our nation who believe that the American way is the right way and the only way.

    • Bullock's `Days' too predictable, formulaic (By CASEY K. McCLUSKEY Scene Movie Critic)
      When most people think of Sandra Bullock's movie roles, they think of the nice girl-next-door. Although the role of Gwen Cummings is not too far off the mark from her normal roles, Gwen definitely has much more of an edge than we are used to seeing.
