The idea, inspired by Venice High School, would give seniors a diploma and a registration card to emphasize citizenship knowledge and political responsibility, aiming to reverse declining participation trends.
The piece reflects on Jane Fonda's Washington speech mocking energy leadership and nuclear policy, framing the remark as a serious denunciation amid humor. It discusses humor's power to shape public perception and notes how jokes affect those targeted and the broader political climate.
An essayist vents about Manhattan apartments, noting $485 to $3300 monthly rents, tiny rooms, leaky faucets, and persistent noise. The piece contrasts gritty city life with sunny Florida, while a move to New York is imagined despite the crowded, budget-stretching reality.
Mike Murphy muses on graduates and unemployment trends while recalling childhood questions about future professions. He considers shifts in careers, inflation pressures, and the lure of second careers from accountants to teachers to lawyers, noting personal satisfaction and curiosity about a newsroom path.
A reader argues that Murph’s May 31 column misrepresents women and ERA. She defends female wage gains and independent roles, questions gender bias, and notes Venice Hospital expanding pediatrics as proof of changing times.
In a reflective column, the City Manager links Tutankhamun’s hieroglyphs to Venice’s present, urging today’s policy makers to learn from past mistakes while preserving successful achievements.
