The Middletown Journal announces leadership for 1857 era publication with publisher Edwina Blackwell Clark and editor Saget M. David Goodwin joined by editorial page editor Michael Williams.
Excerpts from editorials focus on Pope John Paul II critiquing capitalist excess and urging attention to poverty. The piece underscores widening wealth gaps, public responsibility, and the need for social justice in the United States.
The pope led a global church from a tiny sovereign state, choosing a name that reflected two legacies. He opposed divorce and birth control while expanding papal infallibility, centralizing power in the Vatican and clashing with local bishops, a dynamic linked to America’s slow response to the sexual abuse crisis.
A Tribune column observes two young women leaving basic training to return home. The piece argues coed training harms rigor and injuries, citing a 2002 report, and suggests separating sexes like the Marines to maintain military effectiveness.
Patt Morrison of the Los Angeles Times recounts an American tale of second chances. George Segal and Sonia Schultz Segal, classmates from Pennsylvania in 1948, reunite decades later after marriages and divorces, mirroring public romance obstacles. They wed after a class reunion, proving love conquers all despite media scrutiny and age.
The Middletown Journal outlines how to submit letters to the editor by mail email or fax. Letters must be signed with full name address and daytime phone number for verification and submissions become property of the newspaper and may be reused.
