Issue: November 19, 2015
Dear Folks,
This week, forty newspapers around the nation will be running essays on
the Paris climate talks. Organized by the News & Review newspapers, this
effort will take the form of letters to the great-grandchildren of
figures like astronaut Stephen Robinson, novelists Jane Smiley and T.C.
Boyle, U.S. Sen. Harry Reid. Join us for this special cover story.
Elsewhere in our issue this week, Kelsey Fitzgerald reports on classes
available at a local marijuana dispensary to help take up the slack left
by government policies that prevent patients from having the information
they need about this medicine. Brian Breneman writes about the
experience of spending weeks watching 53 years of James Bond movies.
We'll have an interview with the owner of a town fixture-- the Gold 'n'
Silver Inn. And in news we'll look at whether some groups can be
exempted from a key provision of the new state grant program that pays
parents to take their children out of public schools.
Thank you for reading us.
Take care,
Dennis Myers,
News editor
