Get real and focus on substance

There have been two worrying letter responses to what many would term the "pro-nuclear" Dec. 25 letter by Andreas Kolb, "Ridiculous antinuclear claims." In Nancy Foust's Dec. 29 letter ("Gross nuclear misrepresentations"), we get an insinuation that Kolb may be linked to the nuclear industry, and in...

For how much longer will Japan's fate remain in the hands of amateurs?

As we enter into a new year in which last year's greatest event is still, dreadfully, uppermost in the mind of everyone in Japan, let's pause to think hard about the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, the tsunami it triggered, and the release into the environment of radioactive substances from...

Media awards: Tokyo powers down as idols power up

Media Figure of the Year: Tepco A fact of modern life that the Occupy Wall Street movement brought home to the average person is that corporations are nominally "persons," meaning they have been granted the same "rights" as individuals, at least in the United States.

Gross nuclear misrepresentations

The Dec. 25 letter from Andreas Kolb, " Ridiculous antinuclear claims," is quite disturbing in its gross misrepresentations, xenophobia and blatant racism.

Spare us the propaganda routine

As a German, I can say that Andreas Kolb's "opinion" is surely not written by an Austrian. We share the same culture and we don't use terms like "yellow peril" in the German-speaking part of Europe. Nobody here would claim that German Chancellor Angela Merkel "broke a law" with regard to the planned...
