Living with Children: Commonsense vs. nonsense
This is the last (for a while, anyway) of three columns in which I take on the absurd notion that punishing children for bad behavior is bad parenting. (The previous are on my website at johnrosemond.com.) There is common sense and there is nonsense and the absurd notion in question...

Zachary Barber: Pollution is U.S. Steel’s gift to Pittsburgh
There’s always something special in the air over the holiday season. This year, unfortunately, that something was a foul-smelling haze of dangerous industrial pollution.
