Everyday ethics: Why freedom of the press is paramount (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When it comes to a central principle of the U.S. Constitution, none is more important than freedom of the press in a democracy. A free press is supposed to inform the public and hold officials accountable. “Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost,” President Thomas Jefferson said. Yet this essential freedom of the press is under attack. According to the nonprofit Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press in a statement after the recent at
Everyday ethics: Try a thought experiment to consider things differently (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes the greatest discoveries about ourselves or the world around us come through imagination or intuition. I realize this seems contrary to the notion that knowledge comes from careful mathematical equations or analysis of facts in order to draw tentative conclusions.

Read excerpt
I sat on the morning on Sept. 11 trying to write my column, like so many others having thoughts, images and feelings flooding into their minds.

It takes a few nightmares and Tiny Tim, a crippled boy, to change
Everyday ethics: Dealing with our failure to communicate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How many times have you said to yourself after hearing others talk, “what we’ve got here is a communication problem”? It’s a prevalent issue in an age in which we seem so divided along so many lines. Not only do we fail to speak civilly to each other, we don’t listen very well either. Faced with the onslaught of so much information in so many forms, we often give up or retreat into those sources that feed back what we want to hear, thereby substantiating what we already believe. We may even retr
