Arthur Jenkins, founder, declares in the first Herald issue of January 15 1877 that the paper will ignore party politics and pursue public questions freely. He pledges support for measures advancing the people’s best interests.
President Clinton to supervise a Camp David summit between Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat as Sept. 13 deadline nears. The piece notes parallels with 1978 accords, risks of failure, and public call for bipartisan support to back negotiations toward Jerusalem, borders, refugees, and settlements while pressing for renewed regional security and living standards.
A critique argues television lacks multi dimensional people of color and calls for inclusive, respectful roles. The NAACP and minority groups pressured networks after past boycotts, while Black actors gain lead roles but Latinos and Asian Americans remain underrepresented.
Letters urge a statewide moratorium on executions citing a Columbia study showing errors in many capital cases. Voters ask for assigned counsel, DNA testing, and a blue ribbon review to guide Syracuse and New York policy.
A June 30 issue notes that the Ten Commandments may be posted in Indiana courthouses and South Dakota schools. It states students must start each day with a prayer and a moment of silence, with "By Moses" included to complete the thought. Rose Pollack responds to Rick Guy's letter accusing prejudice and ignorance of defending homophobia.
The letter criticizes a June 26 editorial for trivializing low mood by suggesting a pill for being low in spirits. It argues the piece equates eating too much with clinical depression, risking stigma and deterring treatment. The author questions readers' enlightenment and urges healthier lifestyle without dismissing mental health concerns.
John Rivett of Marcellus critiques Mr. Guy for linking homophobia to irrational fear while praising his stance against violence. The letter questions the logic of fear turning to action and notes appreciation for the intended beneficence amid debate on LGBTQ issues.
