Despite writing this letter each week, I still wonder why so few of us write real ones anymore. I was thinking of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, who corresponded frequently but met only once: ‘The present racial crisis in this country carries within it powerful destructive ingredients that may soon erupt into an uncontrollable explosion,’ More
To the editor: One way Israel could respond to Iran's attack is to use long-range drones to deliver masses of leaflets to the people of Tehran. Even if the drones were shot down, the leaflets would still reach their targets. The leaflets, containing whatever words Israel chooses, would also send the message that Tehran is vulnerable to Israel's military might — that Israel could have sent death and destruction but chose not to.

Countries at war, all of them, stop the war. Look to negotiate. Look for peace," the pope, speaking through a translator, told "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell during an hourlong interview at the guest house where he lives in Rome.

I can travel more than...

I read the letter to The Madera Tribune (April 3) by Chuck Wieland and the reply (April 10) by John Wright. I appreciated the comments by Wieland about Trump, the Republican party and the colorful language.“Let’s not be silently complicit in transforming America into a Bizarro World. Or Amerika.” Wright wrote that regarding Wieland’s comments, he was “stunned, disgusted and disappointed.” I feel that I have to inform Wright that not everyone in Madera County is a MAGA Trumper.
