Mixed feelings regarding Ireland

Roger Pulvers' March 15 Counterpoint article, "Now that the Celtic tiger's turned tail, whither the Emerald Isle," leaves me, as one who is part English and part Irish, with mixed feelings of shame and satisfaction. I cannot but feel shame at the way the English for so long kept the Irish in misery until...

Useless engineering achievement

Humanoid robots really bug me. The unveiling of the humanoid robot HRP-4C (shown in the March 17 photo titled "MODEL OF TECHNOLOGY"), accompanied by an all too predictably maudlin caption describing how "its face can exhibit expressions of surprise via 42 actuators," and news that it will debut at a...

The cowardly whisper of politics

A few weeks ago I watched "All The President's Men" for the first time in more than 20 years. Set in the early 1970s, it was a potent blast from the past, but what struck me wasn't the relative youth of Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman or the pre-Internet drudge work that their real-life characters,...

Questions remain in murky case

Regarding a reader's response to my March 3 article, "Rape victim fights for justice against U.S. military, Japan": It's generally a bad idea to get involved in spats with anonymous letter writers, but the March 12 letter "Questions about an alleged rape" contains such a litany of accusations, I feel...
