Editorial: Digging a hole
According to a story in The Washington Post, the measure would allow states to permit companies to drill anywhere within 50 miles of their coastlines. Meanwhile, those states that choose to keep drilling even farther away - at least 100 miles offshore - would have to pass legislation affirming it every five years. A similar, though more limited, measure is still being debated in the Senate.
Editorial: Snail-paced security
The president's declaration came about a week before the FBI's announcement Thursday that it had recovered the stolen Veterans Affairs Department laptop and hard drive that contained the personal data of millions of retired and active-duty military personnel. Tests showed the data had not been accessed.
Book says geology wrong at Yucca
A new book by three dozen scientists from across the country is questioning the suitability of Yucca Mountain as a dump site for the nation's high-level radioactive waste.
LaRoche: No pressure
By Brian Hilderbrand
For every Ken Griffey Jr. or Barry Bonds, sons of former major leaguers who made names for themselves in the big leagues, there is a Craig Griffey or Bobby Bonds Jr.
Letter: Gitmo decision strengthens America
The Supreme Court decision does just the opposite. It is a victory that has made us stronger for several reasons:
Editorial: Common sense cure
"We pretty well do know what the silver set of bullets are," Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., a leader on the issue, said at a 2004 hearing.

THE OPENING LINE
The NBA stars of tommorow as well as the stars of tomorrow for European, South American, and Middle East club teams you've never heard of hoop it up in front of a bunch of tall guys wearing short pants with expense accounts (a.k.a. pro basketball scouts).
Jeff Haney on shopping for the best deals on baseball futures

Letter: Bush's list of failures too long to number
So it is not Justice Stevens alone, but the court which has upheld the values of a democratic society that George Bush has been trying to undermine, Guantanamo being only one example, in the name of national defense.
Letter: Uncompromising attitude good in a president
These vindictive attacks are nothing new in politics. I'm sure George W. Bush's political enemies would have been outraged at the audacity of Abraham Lincoln. President Lincoln's perceived arrogance, stubbornness, his refusal to budge and his "stay-the-course" doctrine were also hated by his political enemies.
