Woefully Dismayed

By Letter to Editor
Upon reading entries for the short-story contest (see "A World in 200 Words," River Cities' Reader Issue 473, April 21-27, 2004), the "winner" and "runners up," I can honestly say I am woefully dismayed. I had anticipated prose that would grab me and say something, anything, to grab my attention.

Jesus Is a Liberal

By Letter to Editor

Mediation Process Reduced to a Joke

By Letter to Editor
John Lewis Community Services (JLCS) paints a picture of Taylor Heights neighbors as bad-faith mediators. (See "Cobblestone Terrace Negotiations Die," River Cities' Reader Issue 460, January 21-27, 2004.) Nothing could be farther from the truth.

John Lewis Still Has Options

By Letter to Editor
