  1. The media's religion deficit

    Evidence of big media's bias against religion that doesn't advance the secular and liberal agenda of the Democratic Party is beyond dispute. Any faith attached to a conservative agenda is to be ridiculed, stereotyped and misrepresented. Islam is a notable exception. The media appear to bend over backward not to offend Muslims.

  6. Floggings no, lethal injection yes

    John D. Bessler, an expert on capital punishment who teaches at the University of Baltimore School of Law, argues in his most recent book on the death penalty (he's written four) that, since its founding, the United States has become a more civilized place. We outlawed duels a long time ago. We no longer whip or torture inmates. We no longer place offenders in stocks. We stopped public hangings.

  7. Executions are an anachronism

    In today's Sun the column by Dan Rodricks was right on the mark regarding Maryland's outdated adherence to state executions ("Floggings, no — lethal injection, yes?" March 22). He quotes a book by University of Baltimore law professor John D....

  8. Moral high ground in abortion debate is debatable

    Readers such as John Rutkowski must not understand that Garry Trudeau's series on the forced ultra-sound law for women seeking abortion is no attempt at being funny ("Idiotic 'Doonesbury' strip on abortion insults readers," March 20). "Comic" strip is a...

  9. Justice without death

    Just as advocates are renewing their push to abolish Maryland's death penalty, the state has been faced with exactly the kind of case that has proved one of the most persuasive arguments against their cause in the General Assembly. Late last month, an Anne Arundel County jury found Lee Edward Stephens guilty of murder in the killing of correctional officer Cpl. David McGuinn. Mr. Stephens had already been serving a life sentence when he stabbed Officer McGuinn at the now-shuttered House of Correction at Jessup. Defenders of capital punishment pointed to the case as a reason why repealing the death penalty and substituting life without the possibility of parole as the state's maximum sentence would be a mistake; absent the threat of execution, they say, inmates like Mr. Stephens would feel no compunction about killing again and again.

  10. The only way to make the death penalty fair is to abolish it

    Since 1973, at least 140 people have walked off our nation's death rows after new evidence revealed that they were sentenced to die for crimes they did not commit. That's more than one innocent person exonerated for every 10 who's been executed. Hundreds more have been exonerated from long prison sentences as a result of advances in DNA testing. Wrongful convictions like these mean victims' families suffer while the real killers remain at large and tax dollars are wasted.

  11. Legislature misses chance to end death penalty

    I have spent a lot of my life waiting.
    I have spent a lot of my life waiting. I waited for two years to be executed, and I waited in prison for more than eight years — all for a murder I had nothing to do with. After finally being exonerated in 1993, I had to wait 10 years for the...

  12. Restaurant review: Gitan Bistro Cru has panache, but its menu needs patience

    There is another Canton, a quieter residential neighborhood away from the commerce of Boston Street and the bustle of O'Donnell Square. &quot;Old-man bars" still operate on the lonesome corners of this Canton, and when one of them closes, you can bet a cute cafe or trendy tavern isn't far behind.
