RECENT COLUMNS
Lawmakers, read the bills before you vote
Ramming legislation through Congress so quickly that neither lawmakers nor
voters have time to read and digest it is a bipartisan crime. (Globe Columnist, 7/11/09)
Minimum-wage folly
If aiding the needy were as easy as setting a compulsory minimum wage, why
not set it at $20 an hour -- or better yet, $120 an hour -- and really help them out? (Globe Columnist, 7/7/09)
A deadly organ donor system
The result of our misguided altruism-only organ donation system is much the same: too few organs and too much death. (Globe Columnist, 7/4/09)

Obama's restraint on Iran
TWENTY YEARS ago this month, the first President Bush refused to condemn China's communist rulers when they unleashed a violent assault on pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing. (Globe Columnist, 6/16/09)
Bay State's low standards
That Massachusetts lawmakers are a scurvy lot is not exactly breaking news. The "indigence, ignorance, and baseness" has been going on for 222 years. (Globe Columnist, 6/13/09)
