I've been with the Times Publishing Co. for some 40 years and am dedicated to journalism as watchdog for the people. I joined NewsTrust because of PolitiFact, because I follow politics, because I firmly believe that Obama is a good and able man who offers the nation hope. I applaud his first 100 days.

The quality is in the details, the narrative, the point of view. That point of view is not necessarily objective -- it is clear that Bar is the hero and Green Dot the successful educational innovation -- but it does not pretend to be. And the change in the schools is argument enough.
I think educational systems throughout the country have been failing the poor and the troubled, and applaud those who are making a difference.

Yes. It tells the story of unemployment in Greenwood, SC, through the eyes of the unemployed ... which makes it real.
Unemployment is among the most heart-breaking effects of the recession, and will probably be the last step in recovery.

This kind of callous disregard for promises made and contracts broken is a national disgrace. Once again, the greedy and the powerful take advantage -- because they can.
