On Feb. 5, 1987, the United States government will have another nuclear weapons test. This test will release, as usual, downwind radiation. The incidence of leukemia is 40 percent higher than normal in the communities that surround the Nevada test site....

Jon and Marie Waldschmidt, what gives you the right to speak for all the musicians, doctors, teachers, poets, writers, scientists, world leaders, mothers and housewives of the world? The decision for a woman to have an abortion is a personal one, and...

In response to Adrienne's letter on abortion, "Choosing Freely," I do have some disagreement. I find certain things exaggerated. One would not die if one does not choose to abort. This is a free country. There are so many agencies and centers providing...

I enjoy reading Dave Tuley's column in the Star, but he recently made a comment to which I feel I must respond. The remark was made in his column of Wednesday, Jan. 28 as he somewhat begrudgingly congratulated the New York Giants on their Super Bowl triumph...

Without a doubt, most people by now are tired of reading about the whole Iran-contra—"I hate Reagan so much, I could kill him" thing that's been going down in Washington since November. I'm tired of it too. But bear with me on this, because I've been...

It is estimated that in just three years, 12.5 million Americans may be infected with AIDS. Even more disturbing is that the Federal Centers for Disease Control now estimate that by 1991, more than 12,000 children will have been diagnosed as having AIDS...
