LETTER FROM WASHINGTON; Having Little in Common With King

September 6, 2010 By ALBERT R. HUNT WASHINGTON — Glenn Beck , at his successful “Restoring America” rally in Washington, wrapped himself in the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. He fits much better with another religious-political figure, the late Charles E. Coughlin, the Catholic priest who led a populist-right crusade against President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the... Full article »

LETTERS; Women, Power and the Palin Factor

September 5, 2010 To the Editor: I applaud Anna Holmes and Rebecca Traister for expressing their frustration with Sarah Palin’s attempts to co-opt the progressive feminist agenda (“ A Palin of Our Own ,” Op-Ed, Aug. 29). It is ironic that as women have gained parity in many fields, they have allowed themselves to be co-opted by those in positions... Full article »

In Alaska, Feud Fueled by Palin Claims Senator Murkowski

September 2, 2010 By WILLIAM YARDLEY ANCHORAGE — The message might have seemed gracious, on its face. “Thank you for your service, Sen.

OP-ED COLUMNIST; Sarah’s Amazing Race

September 2, 2010 By GAIL COLLINS Sarah Palin is going to Iowa to be the headliner at a Republican fund-raiser. In the state that will be the first to hold a contest in the 2012 presidential campaign, even if it has to do it in 2011.

THE FEMALE FACTOR; Palin Woos Women and Stirs Up Foes

September 1, 2010 By LUISITA LOPEZ TORREGROSA NEW YORK — Ever since Sarah Palin appropriated the feminist banner as her own, introducing her potent Mama Grizzly video and setting off a firestorm among liberal advocates of abortion rights, the battle has raged over female voters, who outnumber registered male voters in the United States in this upset-minded election year. On the campaign... Full article »

August 29, 2010 By ANNA HOLMES and REBECCA TRAISTER TWO years ago today, Senator John McCain of Arizona, the Republican presidential nominee, introduced the world to his running mate, Gov.

OP-ED COLUMNIST; America Is Better Than This

August 28, 2010 By BOB HERBERT America is better than Glenn Beck. For all of his celebrity, Mr. Beck is an ignorant, divisive, pathetic figure. On the anniversary of the great 1963 March on Washington he will stand in the shadows of giants -- Abraham Lincoln and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Who do you think is more representative of this nation? Consider a brief sampling... Full article »

NYC; Ground Zero: Its Boundaries Are Elastic

August 24, 2010 By CLYDE HABERMAN The question is basic, first raised in this space months ago. It matters even more now with the intensified struggle over Park51, the Muslim community center and prayer space planned for Park Place, two city blocks and a dogleg from ground zero. If this ugly fight is not about religious freedom, as the center's opponents assert, if it is instead a... Full article »

August 21, 2010 By SCOTT SHANE WASHINGTON -- Some counterterrorism experts say the anti-Muslim sentiment that has saturated the airwaves and blogs in the debate over plans for an Islamic center near ground zero in Lower Manhattan is playing into the hands of extremists by bolstering their claims that the United States is hostile to Islam.
