I believe Gov. Mills is the most electable and, in my view, the best candidate to run against Susan Collins. However, Mills’ age, by the end of a six-year Senate term, is going to be a problem for some voters who are open to replacing Susan Collins. Gov Mills recognizes this and has stated that the most critical period of […]

I’m responding to Joe Charpentier’s great article on heat pumps (Nov. 16). It has always amazed me that weatherizing was not a prerequisite of purchasing heat pumps through the Efficiency Maine program.

She concludes by interestingly pleading for a new word for “lies,” one that more strongly and uniquely denotes the truly damaging aspects of […]

The Western Allies had defeated Nazi Germany and these trials were set up to determine what should happen to 22 senior Nazi officials following the war, in which they were responsible for the killing, in […]
