The remark imagines Gen William Sherman refusing a Republican presidential nomination with the promise not to run or serve if elected. It reflects a skeptical view of political power and a paradoxical stance on leadership and public duty.

The document lists state governor offices with addresses and phone numbers. North Carolina Governor Mike Easley based at the State Capitol in Raleigh provides the contact line. South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges operates from the State House in Columbia with its corresponding number.
A critique of economic reporting argues two laws govern coverage: all news is economic and all economic news is bad. It analyzes how consumer spending, energy prices, auto sales, profits, and stock markets shape perceptions of recession, resilience, and deflation fears amid terrorism and policy responses.
The article argues that Attorney General Ashcroft defends secretive FBI detentions after 9/11, citing security benefits while critics warn secrecy risks abuses and erodes due process. It calls for releasing the names of those detained to reassess legality and rights protections.
The Gazette invites readers to submit Feedback letters or My Turn columns for monthly prize consideration. Each month one item wins the Readers' Voice award and becomes eligible for a yearly award next July. Submissions should be well written, reasonable, and avoid personal attacks per the guidelines.
The reader letters debate ecumenism within the Southern Baptist Convention and interfaith worship.
