Ralph Josephsohn: The occluded gem of public education (guest opinion) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The most valuable crop isn’t harvested as grain from a lush field, or scooped up like cranberries in a bog. The crop is gleaned in public schools from the fertile minds of an upcoming generation germinating seeds of wisdom. Intellect is comparable to a diamond. Diamonds are the hardest natural mineral. Only a teacher having the qualities of a diamond can best forge a jewel out of student diamonds in the rough. The American Gem Society has a 0-10 Diamond Grading System which designates value base
Ralph Josephsohn: A little fright music (guest opinion) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What plucks at the heartstrings of the United States is a violin, high strung on the outside, hollow on the inside. It is difficult to discern whether a tragic opera, an opera buffa or an amalgam of both (bitter tears mixed with euphoric laughter) is playing. The Conductor In Chief Conductor) of the Washington, D.C., Symphony Orchestra (Orchestra) is intolerant of off-key musicians.

Read excerpt
The Longmont Times-Call recently published a commentary by George Will headlined “Jacobsen’s ‘Biological War’ is a disturbing summons to seriousness.” The word “disturbing” is understated. Pathogens may be of greater concern than nuclear weapons. A nuclear weapon contains fissile materials that can sustain an internal chain reaction. Uranium-235 is a rare isotope that accounts for just 0.7% of naturally occurring uranium. Enriched uranium-235 is used in both power plants and nuclear weapons. Low
Ralph Josephsohn: The squirrel effect can have enormous repercussions (guest opinion) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There once was a young man who accepted a job in the downtown heart of sprawling metropolis. He rented an apartment in the suburbs. This required him to take a bus early in the morning to get to work on time. One night while he slept a squirrel gnawed through the insulation of an electrical transmission line, causing a widespread power outage. His electric alarm clock did not ring. He overslept and missed his bus. He scurried to catch the following one. The only seat available was next to a come
