In supporting Ukrainians’ struggle, let’s not go crazy by canceling Russia’s rich culture
In 1969-70, I was a Navy disc jockey at the American Forces Vietnam Network in Saigon. Weekdays I wrote copy for radio commercials, pithy stuff warning our guys in the jungle to avoid being bitten by poisonous snakes. Army corporal Pat Sajak was our resident snake voice, who mockingly suggested on tape that soldiers should not bite snakes, either.
CHANCE OF B12 DEFICIENCY INCREASES AS PEOPLE AGE
Dear Doctors: We moved recently, and my father, who lives with us, now has a new doctor. During his first appointment, she asked about his vitamin B12 levels and seemed surprised that this wasn’t a test that had already been done. My father is not a vegetarian, so why would this be important?

Responding to Estes
I feel some urgency to respond to Rep. Ron Estes’s recent article complaining about the federal budget deficits, blaming Democrats for their spending. He and his Republican colleagues need reminding that the tax cuts of the Trump administration benefited the wealthiest 1% of Americans, and those tax dollars were and still are needed to help close that budget deficit. The middle class was led to believe that they were beneficiaries of the tax cuts, but in fact, the wealthiest 1% received a tax cut 77 times more than the lowest 80%. There were additional loopholes put into place for which the wealthiest 1% received 2/3 of the windfall.
