Sports columnist: A moment that wrote itself
The date — Sept. 6, 1995 — had been circled on calendars, not just in Baltimore, but throughout the country. The countdown for the Orioles' Cal Ripken Jr. to break Lou Gehrig's consecutive-games record had gone on for months. And yet, if I...

Baltimore Sun in the news
There's a fallacy that reporters detest being in the spotlight. If that were really true, articles would be published without bylines. But print journalists have found that it's easier and more fun to ask questions than it is to answer them. Nonetheless,...

Sun corrections: Fessing up
Enraged at a Sun article that he thought misrepresented him, a gentleman named Rudolph Handel marched up and down Calvert Street for years in the 1970s and 1980s bearing signs that read "SUN LIES" and "SUN ERRS." We admit to the latter, but not the...

The city hall reporter: Sun vs. Sun

Jonah Goldberg: Republicans have bad brains?
"They do that because they were born that way." If you say that about homosexuals, you are tolerant and realistic. If you say it about blacks, you are racist (unless you're black yourself). If you say it about women, you may or may not be sexist,...Tags: Science, Genes and Chromosomes, Chicago Tribune Columnists, Parties and Movements, Los Angeles Times
