A preliminary plan for a $100 million makeover of Gaillard Municipal Auditorium, and for offices in new buildings along the streets surrounding the auditorium, is the latest big plan for east Calhoun Street.
Ford's instructive success drive
Sunday, Nov. 8, 12 00 a.m.
Five months ago, Ford Motor Co. declined a federal bailout. Six days ago, Ford reported a third-quarter profit of nearly $1 billion. The happy lesson of this story: One of the "Big Three" U.S. automakers isn't dependent on massive infusions of taxpayer dollars.
Don't jump to Fort Hood conclusions
Saturday, Nov. 7, 12 00 a.m.

Monday, Nov. 2, 12 00 a.m.
You hear over and over, 'people need access to health care' and 'we're the only industrialized country that doesn't provide health care for all.' I take issue with the premise of these statements. Regardless of the pros and cons of present discussions on health care reform or health care insurance reform, there are programs that do provide people without health insurance access to health care, including preventive health care.
