TOP STORIES

Thanksgiving

Editorial of The New York Sun
November 22, 2006

When George Washington issued his first Thanksgiving proclamation — on October 3, 1789, here in New York City — he noted that Congress had requested that he recommend to the people "a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God." He set aside Thursday, November 26, 1789, "to be devoted by the people of these states to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be."

'A tonic for political depression'

November 15, 2009

The occasion is the publication of Mr. Lipsky's new book, “The Citizen’s Constitution, An Annotated Guide,” which has just been brought out by Basic Books.

Flat Earth Society

By ANDREW WOLF
October 24, 2009

No sooner did the Daily News lambast critics of Mayor Bloomberg’s educational program as “flat earth” adherents than the federal NAEP math test released its results, which undermine the mayor’s claims for academic improvements on his watch.

Matt Drudge for Treasury

Editorial of The New York Sun
October 21, 2009

The editor of The Drudge Report reports he is being blamed for the collapse of the dollar because he's given it so much coverage. By our lights his constant coverage is proof that he has better news judgment than those who are ignoring one of the great stories of our generation.
