More than 400,000 New Yorkers live in housing developments overseen by the New York City Housing Authority — towers more commonly known as "the projects."

Broward’s heart pilot project has saved lives | Opinion
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 07:00 AM
Two weeks ago, the Sun Sentinel published an opinion letter from Howard Tescher about the Broward County Health Pilot Project. Unfortunately, the opinion failed to let Sun Sentinel readers know all the facts. Most importantly, the project has medically helped approximately 1,000 lives of Broward County residents. Some of these people needed open-heart surgery, while others needed stents or medication.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 06:05 AM

Last year, for instance, the head of the state’s ethics commission made headlines for violating the state’s ethics rules — a sentence you just don’t see every day. He wasn’t punished for it, either.

Campus protests a sad time for America | Letters to the editor
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 05:00 AM
I believe the nationwide student protests at colleges and universities were instigated by external anti-Israel, antisemitic forces. Where is the FBI in all of this? Where are the college administrators who should demand photo IDs from the real students and separate them from non-students? And what about students who should have peaceful surroundings to study and graduate from their colleges? Those who trespass on private property should be arrested. This includes those who virtually destroyed Hamilton Hall at Columbia University.
