Steel's demise overstated amid global spillover
An industry critique argues the U S steel sector can weather a perceived economic tsunami from imported steel. While dumps may exist, broad protectionist bans risk higher prices and job losses in steel consuming sectors. Domestic steel’s track record and the broader economy suggest careful remedies rather than blunt bans.

Regular Folks Invited to Smart Growth Forums
As a committee member and organizer, I respond to Pauline Leboda’s letter accusing organizers of excluding regular folks. Lorain County residents have long debated sustainable growth, with the first Smart Growth Forum held in October 1997 and a second forum at Lorain County Community College. The Collaborative Committee worked to include all areas of the county and engaged leaders with the public on mutual concerns.

Starr as prosecutor and paradox of power
Deborah Mathis questions Kenneth Starr's public virtue and private certainty. She contrasts his admired roles as lawyer and leader with guarded arrogance and potential abuses of power, citing Monica Lewinsky fallout and the pressure on targets. The column frames Starr as bravura yet morally ambivalent, a hero to some and a watcher to others.
