Middletown Journal announces changes in its leadership with Edwina Blackwell Clark named publisher and M David Goodwin continuing as editor. Michael Williams serves as editorial page editor.
The City Council voted 6-1 to name Police Chief Bill Becker interim city manager, citing his 30 years with the city and familiarity with its operations. Critics warned of possible conflicts, while supporters said outsiders were unnecessary and Becker is well qualified to lead until a permanent replacement is found by June 30.
The week’s changes show Cabinet stability in Bush’s first term with minimal turnover. Key secretaries for justice, state, defense, energy, homeland security, and education have served nearly four years, signaling a loyal team. Powell remains highly credible, but the week’s moves emphasize loyalty over broad reshuffle.
Police in Miami-Dade used stun guns on two children in the past two weeks prompting concerns about safety and decision making. Advocates urge a temporary halt until investigations conclude and officers receive retraining to prioritize less risky interventions.
The piece argues ABC affiliates chose not to air Saving Private Ryan on Veterans Day to protest FCC indecency rules. It contends stricter penalties after the Janet Jackson incident push broadcasters to self censor and rely on audience choice rather than government limits. It laments regulatory reach and urges viewers to switch off.
A columnist argues that Bush was not elected by a right wing Christian jihad and that the electorate was mainly center to center-left. It notes evangelical voters numbered about 20 million of roughly 60 million, with other groups forming the remainder, and cautions against simplifications of moral values as the sole driver of the election.
The columnist analyzes the 2003 Atlantic essay by Thomas Edsall on the morality gap, arguing that moral and sexual values shape elections more than war, cites maps linking porn, religion, and voting, compares divorce and marriage rates in red Texas and blue Massachusetts, notes demographic gaps, and concludes that sex can sometimes trump war as an election issue.
