More snow isn’t (all) fun and games- February 6, 2008 in print edition on 1A
- The snow came. The salt didn’t. Lawrence street crews are expected to run out of road salt sometime today, meaning that snow may be sticking around on city streets longer than anyone wants. “We can get plenty of sand, and it churns up the snow, but it doesn’t melt it,” said Dena Mezger, the city’s assistant director of public works. That will make the city’s street plowing operations more critical, Mezger said.

Even George Bush concedes that if he were running for office again he would advocate change! So, what needs to be changed? There’s a word for what the American public wants to change. That word also sounds a bit frivolous, but let me make a case for that need and the word I have chosen to describe it. The word is spirit!

- Super Tuesday only creates more confusion
- February 7, 2008 in print edition on A8
