      What's so bad about a stable US population? | Froma Harrop

            Patients like me benefit from helpful drug ads on TV | Dorothy Leone-Glasser

              For more than four decades, I have navigated life while managing a chronic disease. This experience comes with countless appointments, trying new medicines and learning to be my own advocate in a health system that can feel overwhelming for patients.

                Imagine you are sick with a serious medical condition. How would you feel if someone constantly told you to buy their product because it would cure you, but this “cure” is actually worse than other treatments, and the price tag is enormous?

                Letter: Let's get rid of ignorance and corruption

                  Trump’s Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum's corruption and ignorance is appalling. Burgum recently tried to kill off wind energy off the coast in Carolina. That offshore wind lease would have created over 37,000 jobs during development and construction, provided billions in wages, and 44…

                        I live in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills School District (CFSD). Because our 60-year-old neighborhood is hilly with narrow, winding roads, full-sized school buses cannot navigate it safely. Consequently, some children—including my kindergartner—must walk up to a mile over dangerous terrain just…

                        Local opinion: A dismissive editorial peers through rose-colored glasses

                        The Herald has missed its mark in offering us reassurance of the court’s stability and the strength of democracy. And when it values confidence over honest scrutiny, its words ring hollow.
