Aiken Standard presents a thinker’s prompt from the editorial board inviting readers to consider broader civic questions. Ellen Priest and Tim O Briant lead the discussion with Melissa Hanna and Michael Ulmer guiding the editorial page as they urge reflection on local issues.
U.S. senators Lindsey Graham and others argue that working with Iran could help keep Iraq together amid rising sectarian violence. The plan stresses limited, carefully coordinated diplomacy rather than large U.S. troop deployments, and notes criticism from John McCain about an Iran partnership.
The essay riffs on a 2013 Boston Red Sox versus Tampa Bay game where David Price plunked David Ortiz after a home run and a tense bench-clearing brawl followed. It frames revenge as cathartic on and off the field, linking sports feuds to larger historical vendettas and ending with a note on the next matchup date. Charles Krauthammer is cited as the author.
A reader blasts the paper for a bold toe sucking headline on the front page and questions editorial decisions. The writer urges moving the story to the back page or discarding it, calling for improved staff judgment.
The Aiken Standard invites reader letters signed with a real name and address and a daytime phone for verification. Letters must be under 400 words, may be edited for length and taste, and anonymous or-organized-campaign letters will not be published. Send to Letters to the Editor, P O Box 456, Aiken SC 29802 or email letters aikenstandard.com.
