To the editor: One man: down with Democracy and the Constitution; Fake News; Witch Hunt; Removal of rights for many. None of these issues were in the forefront until Donald Trump unleashed his vitriol. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM

To the editor: A survey seems to come out as fast as the internet can send them, and they have something in common. They are based on tabulated responses so that the survey taker’s role is mathematical rather than opinionated. 01/24/2024 04:23 PM
