  2. The brevity of Silent Cal

    WASHINGTON -- Before Ronald Reagan traveled the 16 blocks to the White House after his first inaugural address, the White House curator had, at the new president's instruction, hung in the Cabinet room a portrait of Calvin Coolidge. The Great Communicator knew that "Silent Cal" could use words powerfully -- 15 of them made him a national figure -- because he was economical in their use, as in all things.

  3. Helmet-less cyclists come up lame

    I am a cyclist who has done big miles for a long span of years. I am also one who was hit from behind by a car in 2005, an accident which both projected me 85 feet into the air and required more than a year of recovery. I was lucky to survive and would not have, save for the helmet I was wearing. That said, I know what I am talking about.

  4. What does Morgan have to do with the College Park murder-suicide?

    I grew up in Baltimore reading The Sun, The Evening Sun and The News American initially for comics then on to sports and finally the actual "news." I remember my English teacher at City College, Mr. Rosskopf, teaching us about H.L. Mencken and the heyday of journalism in America. I wake up Wednesday morning in Afghanistan to find the legacy of that time in shambles. The Baltimore Sun has became a joke when a headline that read "College Park shooter identified as Morgan State University graduate" (Feb. 13).

  6. Chan Lowe: Marco Rubio's State of the Union rebuttal

    While going through the Letters to the Editor inbox this morning, I uncovered a particularly nasty epistle. The author felt that Marco Rubio had a lot of gall with his intention to deliver part of his official rebuttal to the State of the Union address in Spanish. With the inconsistent spelling, twisted grammar and tortured syntax in which such English-only rants are so often couched, she took it as an insult to the American people that a political speech should be made in any language but English.

  7. The persistence of ignorance

    The Baltimore Sun
    A couple of years ago at Slate, Farhad Manjoo posted a little rant about people who insist on typing two spaces after a period, even though in our age of computerized proportional type it is not only unnecessary but contraindicated. The article proved...

  8. Poetic passions, tragic partings among Baltimore's greatest romances

    Baltimore has witnessed love and loss.
    Baltimore has witnessed love and loss. From the banks of the harbor to Mount Vernon's cobblestones to the grassed-over burial plots of Greenmount Cemetery, embedded in this city are vestiges of some of history's great romances, stories of people coming...

  9. Viewpoint: The good, bad and ugly of getting older

    With my birthday coming up in the very near future I was thinking about some of the things that annoy those of us getting up in years. I am grateful several female friends shared their pet peeves. These aren&rsquo;t in any particular order.

  10. In books, Baltimore beats Denver

    As the Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos get ready for their big playoff game Saturday, there are plenty of opinions about how the teams and <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/bal-baltimore-vs-denver-pictures-20130110,0,2688274.photogallery" target="_blank">cities compare</a>. But in one competition -- based on books -- Baltimore wins hands down.

  11. Whom to blame

    The Baltimore Sun
    Earlier today I posted about a passage in The Independent of Britain about the late William Rees-Mogg:  Fraser Nelson, the editor of The Spectator, yesterday recalled the advice Lord Rees-Mogg gave him in 2001: "He said he took inspiration from Ben...

  12. Some dare call it unreason

    The Baltimore Sun
    When I was in high school, the drama group traveled to Louisville to see a series of plays (my first experience of Sheridan's Rivals!). As we walked to the theater, a gentleman was handing out some kind of document. It was typed, single-spaced, with no...
