Editorials
Most of my editorials for the San Francisco Examiner, San Francisco Chronicle and smaller regional newspapers have vanished into virtual air. So, unless you want to go to a major public library and scroll through reels of microfilm, you can’t read them. However, two of them have recently appeared online via SF Gate. One I like a lot. They titled it “The Vatican Repents Catholic Anti-Semitism” (newspapers usually discard the title you submit and replace it with one they like better). Here it is:
The Vatican Repents Catholic Anti-Semitism (1998)
The other one, “White Supremacists and their War against Jews,” is OK, unless it turns out to be prophetic, which would automatically raise its status to “Prophetic.”
