Letter to the editor: Support for Mastriano is horrifying
My mother was a Jew living in Germany when the fascists came to power. Her parents, three younger brothers, grandparents and almost everyone else she loved were wiped off the face of the Earth by those fascists. Seeing fellow Pennsylvanians proudly support Doug Mastriano is horrifying. He would disqualify any...

Matthew J. Mayhew, Christa Winkler and Musbah Shaheen: Boosting understanding between students of all faiths
Our research team has studied college students’ attitudes toward evangelicals, a topic that tends to prompt strong reactions. Some liberals don’t see the topic as worthy of discussion — why study whether Americans appreciate a privileged group with strong influence on society? Meanwhile, many conservatives are adamant that evangelical perspectives...

Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., the number two House Republican, defended his party’s approach to Medicare and Social Security, which has become a campaign issue ahead of U.S. midterm elections in November. It’s a mischaracterization to say the GOP plans to “cut” the programs, Scalise said on “Fox News Sunday.” “That...
Review: Claire Denis’ erotic thriller ‘Stars at Noon’ emits the sweat smell of sexcessVideo
Few filmmakers can evoke, as fully as Claire Denis does, the intoxication and menace of feeling cast adrift in a world where you don’t belong. Think of the French coffee-plantation owner in “White Material,” clinging desperately to the war-torn African country she’s claimed as her own, even as it tries...

Penn State-Michigan takeaways: OC Mike Yurcich needs to take a look in the mirror
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — As Curtis Jacobs dashed down the Penn State sideline, returning a tip-drill interception for a 47-yard score, offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich threw his hands up in celebration. It might have been the happiest he was all day. Penn State’s defense getting gashed was the story of...
Letter to the editor: Pirates’ ‘improvement’
I don’t want to hear anyone complain about the Pirates ownership anymore. You can’t say that nothing is being done to get the Pirates into the playoffs again: Last year the Pirates lost 101 games, and this year they lost 100. If that’s not improvement, I don’t know what is!...

Letter to the editor: Senate guardianship bill dangerous
Guardianship gives one person, a guardian, full control over the life — and life savings — of another person. Guardianship abuse is real, and the guardianship system needs real reform. Senate Bill 1333 isn’t reform. The bill, which passed through the Senate Judiciary Committee with uncharacteristic haste, makes it easier...

Editorial: Out-of-state money influences Pa. votes in both parties
There is a difference between votes and money. Or at least there should be. The overlap has existed forever, which is unsurprising. When the country was founded, it wasn’t just that white men where the only ones who could vote. They also had to be rich enough to own land,...
