  1. Supreme Court must not roll back voting rights

    It would be troubling — though perhaps fitting — if Alabama, the state that gave us the Voting Rights Act in 1965 because of its opposition to providing African-American citizens the ability to register and vote, became the state that would end a key part of the act. It could happen, but it shouldn't — and won't if the Supreme Court recognizes the significance of ensuring that history does not repeat itself.

  2. Obama the decider

    A rare phenomenon occurred on Capitol Hill the other day when two ranking officials of the Obama administration testified that they had differed with the president they still served over providing arms to the rebels in Syria seeking to oust dictator Bashar Assad.

  3. The Leopold case: bad behavior, vague crimes

    Circuit Judge Dennis M. Sweeney today found Anne Arundel County Executive John Leopold guilty on two counts of misconduct for using his executive security detail for personal and political gain. Reports of his sexual escapades and urinary malfunctions have filled the public with disgust. I've attended every day of the trial. Most remarkable for me is the vague law on which the indictment against Mr. Leopold was based.

  5. VP became bigger job after Kennedy

    Jules Witcover's commentary ("Don't count Biden out in 2016," Jan. 29) contrasts the vice president's potency with former vice presidents who had little influence or significance in American history. Indeed, when Lyndon Johnson was broached by John...

  6. Meet Maryland defensive line recruit Kingsley Opara

    Almost immediately after he pledged to Maryland last July, <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/recruiting-blog/bal-terps-edged-out-west-virginia-for-dt-kingsley-opara-20120724,0,3725181.story" target="_blank">Kingsley Opara</a> was listed by several recruiting services as a "soft commitment." It was a label Opara -- for several months, at least -- found to be accurate.

  7. The presidential power trap

    As Barack Obama prepares to be sworn in for the second time as president of the United States, he faces the stark reality that little of what he hopes to accomplish in a second term will likely come to pass. Mr. Obama occupies an office that many assume to be all powerful, but like so many of his recent predecessors, the president knows better. He faces a political capital problem and a power trap.

  8. Taylor Branch distills Pulitzer-winning trilogy for students

    The math is daunting: More than 2,300 pages of prose winnowed down to 190, including photographs and the occasional blank sheet that signals chapter breaks.

  9. Back Story: Learning history on the road

    Sharon Boston, media relations manager at University of Maryland Medical Center, normally spends her days fielding requests from the media. But when it comes to weekends and vacations, it's a safe bet that she's on the road, traveling to visit homes once occupied by presidents, writers and other historic personages.

  12. Who will be our next profiles in courage?

    One of the great works in politics and political rhetoric is John F. Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize-winning Profiles in Courage. Courage has always been important to the Kennedys, who created a Profile in Courage Award a generation ago, and the awards, although usually liberal in their basis, have included conservatives as well. The 1956 work itself is ideologically pretty balanced.
