Opinion
Who Was Charlotte?
From the Vineyard Gazette editions of April, 1958:
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I find it scary that I live in a country that is so misogynistic that the citizens would prefer to elect a goat for President rather than a woman. The fact that the population is 52 per cent women should clinch it but it doesn’t look that way. Which is another thing that scares me.
I admit that this election has me thinking with my heart as much as my head but, you know, it’s our turn, damn it. After centuries of men messing up, don’t you all think it’s time for a woman to try it?
SQUARE SUPPORT
Editors, Vineyard Gazette:
The following letter is being sent to the Martha’s Vineyard Commission:
We are writing this letter in support of the Bradley Square project.
FREEDOM FOR THE THOUGHT THAT WE HATE. By Anthony Lewis. Basic Books, New York, N.Y. 2008. 221 pages. $25 hard cover.
The Vineyard’s political season is in full swing, with town meetings and local elections happening this month. It is in a season such as this that Anthony Lewis’s most recent book, Freedom For The Thought That We Hate, is particularly compelling.
To Our Advantage
Editors, Vineyard Gazette:
In consideration of whether or not to allow beer and wine to be served by wait staff in restaurants with seating of 30 or more, using china settings, it should be noted that Tisbury is not now a dry town.
Hello again to our readers. We have some interesting articles for you this week from our sophomores, but we have had to hustle due to MCAS. We just took the test that basically determines whether or not we graduate, so last week we were more worried about that than about our other school tasks. But as they say, the show must go on and we hope you enjoy reading our thoughts. We enjoy sharing them with you.
