Chumbly: These days he prefers to forgive rather than be strident

In George Eliot’s novel, “The Mill on the Floss,” there’s an exchange in which Maggie, the story’s main character, tells her brother Tom, “It’s a sin to be hard.”
She said this because of how Tom typically treated her when she did something wrong — like acting selfishly or going on long walks with a man her family disapproved of.
Poremba: Many thought column was about them

A column of mine appeared in last week’s Press about parent abuse. I received several calls from grandparents and parents exclaiming as I said. “Not my kid; no that would never happen!”, and they believed the column was about them.
To make a long story short, one of the grandmothers said it made her granddaughter look like a spoiled brat.

Walker has been positive throughout
To the editor:
To Peggy Scott, why do you even have an opinion about RTHS’s prom king. You’re from Fisher. Mr. Tatar, you used to have students that looked up to you as a role model, but I’m not so sure now.

I found that disgusting.
Poremba: It’s not just children who are abused
|
We hear so much about child abuse on a daily basis, and as horrible as it is, it still goes on.
Have any of you heard about parent abuse?
That goes on as well, so what can be done?

Wang: The Naked Truth
|
The debate has raged for years. What separates an artistic photograph from one that some would consider erotica?
“The Naked Truth” is an art photography exhibition of the nude for which I am serving as curator.
Although I have curated several academic exhibitions of this nature in the past, this is the first time I have my own artwork on display in such an exhibition.
