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.

Some of these people needed open-heart surgery, while others needed stents or medication.

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?
