A Failure to Listen

Terry H. Schwadron Dec. 8, 2023 Why is reaction on public issues so limited to one-way or the other? Why isn’t our intake of news and information producing more reactions that prompt us to say “and” rather than “or,” even if they draw from another point of view? The week’s…

Political Brinksmanship Games

Terry H. Schwadron Dec. 7, 2023 We shouldn’t believe it until we see the votes, but signals were airing this week that House Republicans who have held out for months about any spending agreement that would keep the government functioning are easing up.

A Sense of Failure in Gaza

Terry H. Schwadron Dec. 4, 2023 With attempts at negotiation shunted aside — even for hostage-for-prisoner exchanges that both sides want — the provocation of more Hamas missile aimed Israeli cities and the retaliatory military strikes against Gaza are back in full force.
