Ellen Goodman argues Tailhook scandal reveals a culture of avoiding responsibility. She notes Lt Paula Coughlin's courage, limited consequences for officers, and a resignation that signals deeper systemic issues. The piece critiques the pursuit of blame rather than lasting reform.
The Tailhook scandal ends with no trials for the Navy officers involved and sees Adm. Frank Kelso II resigning two months early to close the chapter. Lt. Paula Coughlin, the whistleblower, resigns after facing covert attacks for going public.
The Gazette marks Black History Month by highlighting African American achievements daily in February. Alice Walker, born in Eatonton Georgia in 1944, moved to New York City in 1974 and has built a dominant literary career with stories and poems in Essence and other publications.
Renowned author Alice Walker published major works such as Once and The Color Purple, which won the American Book Award and Pu litzer Prize. The Color Purple film earned 11 Oscar nominations in 1985. Cityline and NAACP Community Resource Center promote Black History Month with daily February reports.
The Gazette highlights its commitment to the future by printing with soybean ink and using recycled newsprint. Readers are urged to recycle newspapers in City Carton boxes at 4250 Sixth St SW and to use the Cedar Rapids Gazette for AP dispatches and second class postage information.
