Letter to the editor: Pirates need a new script
Recent articles and fan comments in the Tribune-Review pretty well reflect people’s loss of interest in attending any Pirates games. I think most people in the Pittsburgh area are fed up with what the owner’s acumen reflects. No interest in developing a winning, or competitive, team, as long as he...

Letter to the editor: If we respect life, we must end death penalty
On April 29, Richard Bernard Moore, a man on South Carolina’s death row, will be executed by firing squad. That’s right. Firing squad! As an ordained Roman Catholic deacon, serving as a chaplain to our incarcerated sisters and brothers in the Diocese of Pittsburgh, I most strongly urge my fellow...

Letter to the editor: The curative powers of hot cross buns
I loved the article “Saint Vincent monks hit sweet spot with handmade hot cross buns” (April 13, TribLIVE). I’ve been making them for ages but always only on Good Friday. Made on that special day, the buns are to have curative powers. I have tried several traditional recipes but never...
Letter to the editor: Saint Vincent College’s intolerance is sad
So, Saint Vincent College invited a speaker that made the liberal-leaning administration “cringe” (“Saint Vincent College responds to racism claims following weekend lecture,” April 14, TribLIVE)?

Letter to the editor: How would Skybus have changed Pittsburgh?
I wonder … . I wonder what Pittsburgh would have been like today if the innovative Skybus had been passed by the Allegheny County commissioners in the 1960s. Back then, steel was all that mattered to Pittsburgh. Population drain? With steel mills going 24/7? What need was there for Skybus?...
