		<description><![CDATA[Recently Assemblywoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-Ewing) applauded the Corzine administration and congratulated herself for the increased number of New Jersey children now covered by health insurance. Children’s health and access to quality affordable health care are issues of paramount concern to me, and the absence of access to health care greatly affects a notable segment]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I really enjoyed reading your article about health care in the Oct.16 issue. There is a great deal of misinformation about this topic. Your article and the inset on page three focused perfectly on the kinds of coverage that college students, and all Americans, have and the changes that the Obama Plan would bring. Kudos]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Barack Obama is widely praised as a pragmatic thinker, but “pragmatism” is ambiguous and often misunderstood. Sometimes the word is used to mean abandoning principles for the sake of political expediency or defending the status quo, but the American pragmatist philosophers, William James and John Dewey, meant something quite different. Their essential message, according]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve heard so much about “change” during the past elections and having witnessed the “change” this January, I must say, the fever of “change” is far from over. Recently at a job interview, I was asked, “How do you react to a change and what do you do if you don’t like the change?” It]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was wonderful to read your article about Milton Barnes (“Mr. Ambassador: Rider grad is Liberia’s rep in U.S.,” Dec. 5). Milton was a housemate of mine when I was a student at Rider. He and his brother were such intelligent and articulate humans. When we met the Barneses, my roommate, Lynn, had no idea]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Initially, I intended on writing my dissenting opinion to last week’s cover story (‘Hate Prop 8’; Nov. 21) with a preponderance of historical and legal evidence. I would have chronicled the timeline of events that have culminated in the passing of Proposition 8: “Eliminate Right of Same Sex Couples to Marry-Initiative Constitutional Amendment” aka “Limit]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama for winning the 2008 presidential election. As an American before a Republican, I wish him well, for if he succeeds, America succeeds. That does not mean, however, that I am thrilled, excited or in awe. I am one of the 57.8 million Americans who cast a vote for Sen.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the wise words of our president-elect, Barack Obama, “This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change.” I agree whole-heartedly with Obama when he claims that those lucky enough to be presented with the ability to institute change must listen and accept that]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is my annual plea for something better than mediocrity from the Rider men’s basketball team. Throughout the years, I have to see teams like Valparasio, Davidson, Bucknell and even our MAAC conference mates Siena and Manhattan win games in the NCAA Tournament, and I wonder why Rider can’t do the same. We are conveniently]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The housing collapse currently crushing the United States doesn’t seem to be affecting the housing market on the Lawrenceville campus. Buildings seem to be springing up from the ground and older residence halls are getting flashy makeovers.

Leadership does not have a specified price tag and it definitely cannot]]></description>
