One of the most challenging jobs on a college or high campus is the athletic director. He or she is responsible for a host of athletic teams along with coaches, booster club members, the band, maintenance workers that that take care of the field and courts and sometimes out of control parents. For the last 12 years at Culver City high school that job belonged to Tom Salter and now the new athletic director is 2001 Culver City high school graduate Adam Eskridge. "I got this crazy notion of...

There are far too many atrocities that both have occurred in recent times and that continue to occur. They need to be reported upon, discussed, and universally condemned. Moreover, we need to do what we can to punish those who are behind the atrocities and eradicate the seeds that sow them.

Even Wikipedia starts out its description of the Holocaust by saying that “[t]he Holocaust, also known...

More precisely, people who believe that they hold a minority viewpoint on a public issue will “remain in the background where their commu...

It can change to fit the priorities and attitudes of our community and will ultimately lead to fairer elections that represent public interest. So, why should you s...
