By now, we have heard bits and pieces of Tiger Wood’s sex scandal. He took a hiatus from golf for about four months to go through rehab, supposedly treated for sex addiction. Now he’s back — and better than ever?
Readers’ Corner: The influence of foods from childhood
We all prefer or avoid certain foods. Such behavior can probably be traced to our childhood when we were first introduced to foods that made lasting impressions. These foods often trigger a flood of memories. For example, French author Marcel Proust rhapsodizes about the madeleines (cookies) that he ate when he was a little boy.

Editorial: America’s Dream Team missing key players
Last Saturday, Pulitzer-winning New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman wrote a commentary that we got excited about.

Letter: To immigration reform advocates: Teen pregnancy must be curbed
Presently, well over 15 million U.S.-born citizens and legal immigrants, including open border advocates, have lost their jobs. Although some immigrants are great assets to the U.S., it is simply selfish, shortsighted, and irresponsible to promote amnesty and ever increasing immigration to gain political clout.
Letter: Art story enlightening, but could’ve used more art
To the Editor:
I just read the article “Using Art to End Violence” by April Nishimura in the NWAW [in the Feb. 27-March 5 issue] and was glad to see it. I must agree with Ignacio’s comments about two different identities being complicated.
