Extension of tax grief

Extension of tax grief

I used to love the first weekend of autumn. Now I loathe it. Maybe I better explain. I used to wait until the nicest week in spring to organize my taxes, but now I wait until the nicest week in autumn.

AUKUS: fantasy approach to rising China which comes at significant cost

AUKUS: fantasy approach to rising China which comes at significant cost

Last week marked the one-year anniversary of the announcement of the AUKUS agreement between Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, but there are still many questions about how this pact will affect security in the Asia-Pacific. So far, the Australian people, as well as those in the wider Asian region, have been told almost nothing about the details. Instead, Ca...

Will Fed strangle Latin America again?

Will Fed strangle Latin America again?

Thirty-five years after former U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Paul Volcker left office (and nearly three years after his death), the mere mention of his name still gives shivers to Latin Americans who remember the economic devastation caused by his battle against runaway inflation in the 1980s. With U.S. inflation near a 40-year high, at 8.3 percent in August, Fed Chair Jerome Po...

Play sports! A P.E. teacher's message for girls

Play sports! A P.E. teacher's message for girls

Something amazing happened last summer. The football-mad country I grew up in shifted its passionate attention to a team of women who went on to win the European Championship - England's first major football title since the men's team won the World Cup in 1966. Over 87,000 people were there at London's Wembley Stadium to cheer on England's Lionesses, the highest number ever f...

Under the slight tumble of another COVID wave, this might not be the best moment for a discussion such as this. But then again, when would be?

South Korea must advocate for Tamil rape victims of Sri Lanka's war and military occupation

South Korea must advocate for Tamil rape victims of Sri Lanka's war and military occupation

Twenty-six years of armed conflict in Sri Lanka ended in 2009, when government forces defeated the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). During the final five months of the war, an estimated 40,000 to 169,796 Tamil civilians were killed or disappeared, largely due to government shelling. While these disappearances or deaths remain in the global consciousness, the Sri Lanka...

Big payoff from US-China climate coordination

Big payoff from US-China climate coordination

With provisions to cut U.S. emissions by 40 percent from 2005 levels by 2030, the Inflation Reduction Act has revived America's global climate leadership. Since most of these reductions will come from a cleaner electricity sector - which is projected to be 70-85 percent carbon-free by 2030 - the United States will be well positioned to collaborate with others on decarbonizati...

Making clean energy transition in cleaner ways

Making clean energy transition in cleaner ways

The transition to low-carbon renewable energy has been happening around the world. It would not be possible without the idea that this form of energy is clean, as its generation does not release greenhouse gases that cause global warming.

M*A*S*H, Maude and Kung Fu all turn 50

I didn't watch all of them from the very beginning, but several significant TV shows debuted in the fall of 1972. “The Bob Newhart Show” starred Bob Newhart (who turned 93 on Sept. 5) as psychologist Bob Hartley. Bob's trademark stammer didn't seem all that noticeable to me.
