Shribman: The Virginia Gazette’s enduring legacy of a free press (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The governor of Virginia was relieved there was no school in the colonial capital. No newspaper, either. “Thank God we have no free schools nor printing,” boasted Gov. William Berkeley in 1671, adding, “God keep us from both.” Those were the good old days for those in power. Donald Trump doesn’t have it as good, which is why the other day he banned several news organizations from the White House. That can’t, and won’t, last, just as it didn’t in Colonial Williamsburg.

The electorate sends mixed messages in Democratic primaries (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That phrase, from the faded past, once was a sturdy political guideline. For decades, beginning when it joined the Union as part of the 1820 Missouri Compromise, Maine’s state and congressional elections — befitting a place where the rays from the sun hit its shores before landing farther inland — occurred earlier than those in the rest of the country.
