Sheffield Wednesday are approaching their biggest and final game of the season, taking on Sunderland away from home on Saturday. The Owls know a point will secure their Championship safety for another season, while results going their way elsewhere could mean they are safe even if they lose. Danny Rohl’s men have been on fire of late, producing big result after big result in their survival bid, but how do they compare to the dirtiest teams in the Championship? Here we have put together a...
Sheffield Wednesday took a huge step towards securing their Championship survival at the weekend with a gutsy 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion at Hillsborough. The Owls’ fight will go right down to the wire, but they need just one point against Sunderland to lock in their safety. Ahead of their last push, Danny Röhl was full of praise and appreciation for the fans, who have packed out the home stands throughout this season and were in full volume last time out. “They are incredible. To see our...
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.

While I appreciate Mr. Gaunt’s response to my letter to the Tribune being critical of Chuck Wieland’s characterization of members of the Republican Party, he was way off base on what my intentions were.

“[Donald Trump] thinks he’s being persecuted, but he’s simply being held to account for his alleged actions, as every other citizen of this country would be.”
After eight hours of debate in the two chambers here in London at the beginning of last week, the Rwanda Act was finally passed — with French President Macron describing it as a ‘betrayal of values’ and the ‘geopolitics of cynicism’. He wasn’t alone with his concerns. ‘So the Rwanda bill becomes law,’ wrote Will More
Regarding Gwynne Dyer’s editorial Fascism not necessarily in India's future (April 20).
There was no internet during the Enlightenment, but something surprisingly similar did exist in the 17th and 18th centuries. This was the Republic of Letters: a virtual, global community of scientists and intellectuals who exchanged information using the fastest technology available at the time — the postal service. 15,000 letters The clue is in the name: letters tied this self-proclaimed, transnational society together. Lots of letters. What this “metaphysical republic” lacked in speed, it made...
