A headline that rattled (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was disappointed in the headline “Trump pushes for federal role in election security” in the Dispatches section of the Aug. 3 Monitor Weekly. The headline rattles rather than reassures Americans that our election process is reliable and safe, which is what the article is all about. In this fraught, divisive political atmosphere, why didn’t the headline reflect the reliability and safety of our elections? Monitor journalism changes lives because we open that too-small box that most people think
A moviegoer’s odyssey (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Regarding “‘The Odyssey’: Expansive tale, meet expansive screen” (Aug. 3 Monitor Weekly): That is one outstanding – nay, brilliant – movie review.

I admire school systems in so many places removing cellphones from the classroom. Maybe more school systems will now follow the lead of Norway, Swede
Hereâs the scoop on love (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A big cheer for staff writer Victoria Hoffmann for the last item in the June 22 Monitor Weeklyâs Numbers in the News column, which reported on an ice cream truck in Gardner, Massachusetts. When a young boy could not pay for a cone, the business owner gave it to him for free. The idea went viral, with donations to the ice cream truck coming in from around the world. All I could think was that this was the world we all deserve and need. I loved the idea of worldwide love for others, especially
