  3. Supporting pre-K is a sound investment

    Our leaders in Washington face tough budget issues ("Obama budget would have big impact in MD," April 11). But one proposal we should all agree on is for targeted investments in local pre-kindergarten learning. As a grandfather, I support giving America's children a better educational start. As a retired Army general, I see this as a sound investment in making our next generation more competitive and contributing to our national security.

  5. Bloomberg loses the soda battle, not the war

    The beverage industry is claiming victory after a New York City judge on Monday overturned a ban on super-size sodas and sugary drinks Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg had championed as a way to combat obesity among residents. But the battle is hardly over. Mr. Bloomberg, whose campaign against sales of such drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces became one of the signature public health initiatives of his administration, has garnered worldwide attention for his efforts and in the process amplified the conversation about the link between sweetened drinks and obesity that likely will go on long after he leaves office at the end of this year.

  7. The pastry deserved suspension, not boy

    In regard to the 7-year-old boy suspended from second grade for nibbling a breakfast pastry into the shape of a gun ("The smoking pastry," March 7), we must immediately ban pastries from the schools. They cause diabetes and obesity, and that kills 300,000 Americans a year.

  9. U.S. lags world, fails women with lack of paid leave

    This month marks the 20th anniversary of the U.S. Family and Medical Leave Act. The 1993 act is a federal law requiring employers to provide employees 12 weeks of unpaid leave for qualified medical and family reasons, including pregnancy. On this anniversary, we should reflect on how the U.S. is unacceptably lagging behind on parental leave and on what we should do to overcome this gap.
