Justice Stevens respectfully dissents
The Supreme Court erodes the right to legal counsel
Justice John Paul Stevens made a striking observation about the Supreme Court two years ago. He told Jeffrey Rosen, a legal analyst preparing a profile of Stevens for the New York Times Magazine, that ''including myself, every judge who has been appointed to the court since Lewis Powell has been more conservative than his or her predecessor. Except maybe Justice Ginsburg. That's bound to have an effect on the court.''

Roberta Aber's legacy at Planned Parenthood
Part of growing older involves a certain envy of those who spend an entire working career doing precisely what they enjoy (most of the time). Actually, the feeling is more complicated. Envy shares the stage with an element of delight, the pleasure in watching someone fulfill his or her passion.

''Providing health care is like building a house.'' Atul Gawande shared this telling perspective in a recent essay in The New Yorker. The Boston surgeon writes often for the magazine on matters of health care, and his topic in this instance was ''the cost conundrum,'' or how the country can slow health spending that 50 years ago amounted to 5 percent of the overall economy, today covers 18 percent and is projected to reach an untenable one-third by 2040.

When Harry met the moment
The ultimate New Dealer provided relief and jobs
The Republican National Committee gathered in Washington last week, and for a moment, its members appeared ready to take up a resolution asking the Democratic Party to change its name. To what? The Democrat Socialist Party, of course.
Doggone inefficient
The conversation was civil, even insightful, thanks to the reader at the other end of the phone. She shared her unhappiness with a recent editorial about voters in the Northwest Local School District rejecting yet another levy request. She didn't like the tone. The headline read: ''No dog in the fight?'' We had amplified the frustration of William Stetler, the Northwest superintendent, votes against the proposal coming largely from areas where the majority of residents do not have children in the schools.
What about budgeting by the evidence?
Ted Strickland and the ghost of Frank Cremeans
