Editorial: State budget mess begins to be felt in schools

If you want to see the face of California's budget dilemma, look at the public schools. If you do, it will be clear that reducing spending alone will not solve the state's fiscal problem – unless the governor and legislators want local school districts to make truly draconian cuts....(more)

Editorial: Mayor Fargo should repudiate union's attack ads

Sleazy hit pieces seem to be the unfortunate norm in California politics. But never before have Sacramento voters seen such a despicable independent expenditure campaign as the one Mayor Heather Fargo's supporters launched against Kevin Johnson....(more)

Asimow and Stark: Temporary tax hike is best state budget solution

"Tax, Budget Woes Grow"...(more)

Cal Thomas: The measure of real influence

Time magazine has published another one of those silly and meaningless lists some in the media occasionally and irritatingly compile to validate their self-importance. It is the 100 "most influential people in the world." I didn't make it, but then I don't make other lists like People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive," which must be an oversight....(more)

Harold Meyerson: The next president

We put too much stock in the Oedipal theory of history, my late polymath friend Jim Chapin, the most generous of mentors to historians and journalists, used to argue. More common than children overthrowing their parents, Chapin said, was parents stamping out their children's revolts. More revolutions fail than succeed....(more)

Richard Holbrooke: Washington's battle over Israel's birth

In the celebrations next week surrounding Israel's 60th anniversary, it should not be forgotten that there was an epic struggle in Washington over how to respond to Israel's declaration of independence on May 14, 1948. It led to the most serious disagreement President Harry Truman ever had with his revered secretary of state, George Marshall -- and with most of the foreign policy establishment....(more)
