Three Mile Memories

In the opinion piece by Bob Hodous [Opinionated, April 18], the local Repub-lican Committee Chair forgot to inform us about Rob Schilling’s background.

Your reporter's oversimplification of my position on the warrantless wiretap issue [“Prof defends Bush wiretaps,” Courts & Crime News, April 11] is an embarrassment to us both. I spent close to 90 minutes on the phone with her trying to be helpful, and your readers deserve better than what you published.

Driving needs On behalf of Senior Center, Inc. I want to clarify our position on the Hillsdale Road Project [“Hillsdale Could Spur New Building,” Development News, April 11]. Senior Center, Inc. has not “long opposed the Hillsdale Extension” as stated in your article. Our position since the inception of this project is that a well-designed […]

“I always knew I had been raped” Thanks for your coverage on the preliminary hearing. [“Woman Faces Her Alleged Rapist…,” Courts & Crime, March 28.] And of course, thanks for noticing my outfit and jewelry, because as we know, that is truly what’s important here!

Rhoads not traveled   Ah, the joys of no longer working at UVA. I can speak freely about Steven Rhoads [“Mommies’ Little Helper,” March 14] without compromising the integrity of my former position. Like most of us, I applaud women who choose to take on the toughest job in the world and stay home to […]

Keep track of your ammo   Shame on you for your finish to the H.B. 704 article in the February 21 issue (which was generally well written) [“NRA-backed bill passes house,” The Week]. If you want to say that gun owners are drunken jackasses, write it in an editorial, not a smarmy snip at the […]

Prepare for growth   G. Carleton Ray asks the question, “Is Albe-marle for sale?” [Opinionated, February 21]. Under present circumstances it appears that our beautiful countryside is being swapped for development at a breakneck speed!    Mr. Ray makes many interesting and valid points. One may ask, what is the solution? With the long-term population growth […]
