  • CU gives fundraising the old college try

    You'd think a school that recently set a record for private fundraising would pause to congratulate itself before launching the next annual campaign using the same successful methods. But the University of Colorado, coming off a record $228.6 million in private donations in 2011-12, has instead decided to revamp its fundraising apparatus from top to bottom. Good for CU. The decision ...

  • Editorial With push from technology civilian drones taking flight

    Everyone knows how quickly mobile phones have evolved in the past decade. Well, get ready for a similarly rapid evolution in "unmanned aerial systems" - or UASs. And if you don't like the acronym UAS, you can always call them drones. Chris Anderson, the longtime former editor of Wired magazine, said recently "we're starting to see the same effects kick in [with civilian ...

  • Article was distasteful in airing dirty laundry

  • Orrin Porter Rockwell was proven innocent

    A letter to the editor in the Herald of Sunday, May 5th, strongly implies that "Joseph Smith Rough Stone Rolling" states that Porter Rockwell tried to kill Governor Boggs. On the contrary, the book states (p. 468), "Not until Rockwell was arrested, tried, and acquitted a year later would his innocence be proven."o Jim Reynolds, ...

  • Recent scandals prove gov’t best when limited

    It has been troubling to learn the details of the recent scandal involving the IRS. This is yet another telling indication of just how dangerous big government and large federal entities can be. In addition to being unethical and illegal, these abuses by the IRS very well may have also affected the results of multiple elections to include our most recent presidential election. I fear these ...

    Contrary to the headline and story line of Tuesday's front page article, the issue of allowing homosexuals in scouting is not really about equality.
