Letters to the Editor Published in the Los Angeles Times

On a Variety of Socio-Political Topics

From 1979 to 2002, I wrote a great many letters to the Los Angeles Times — on politics and a wide variety of subjects — and dozens of my contributions were published.

Please click here to go to the index of my writings in the online archives of the Times.

The list below links to my published articles, archived in my old political Web site, Progressive Thinking, in whose “Values & Issues” indexes may also be found my unpublished letters as well as my blog postings and other socio-political writings through June 2006.

Note that these articles are listed in reverse chronological order, with my more mature, polished writing first.

I find it interesting to see how much of what we debate today was discussed in my archived letters. In particular, note that 30 years ago I was clamoring for solar energy as an alternative to fossil fuels, largely because of the Greenhouse Effect — when such talk was considered more science fiction than science fact!
