Letters: Animal carnage | Not representative | History of conflict | Palestinians suffer | Extended war | Clinging to Trump

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:23:13 GMT

Animal carnage onhighways ignoredI would like to start off by saying that I am an animal lover.My biggest complaint is about all of the dead animals on both sides of Highway 4. Between Alhambra Road and the Highway 80 interchange, there are at least 15 dead animals. What happened to someone picking them up? Some have been there for months. There was a dead deer that sat for two days last weekend. It’s gone.There are freeway workers, yet they are still there. There was a time when those animals would have been picked up.Lora Lee MartinEl SobranteHamas doesn’t representall PalestiniansWe must not confuse the plight of the Palestinians with the evil of Hamas. To do so would be like condemning all Americans because some are Proud Boys.We also need to appreciate the possible consequences for Palestinians of the Netanyahu/Saudi deal.Finally, I am worried about the hysteria that Netanyahu and his supporters are promoting here in the United States.

OBIT: Louise Glück, Nobel-winning poet, dead at 80

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:23:13 GMT

By Hillel Italie | Associated PressNEW YORK — Nobel laureate Louise Glück, a poet of unblinking candor and perception who wove classical allusions, philosophical reveries, bittersweet memories and humorous asides into indelible portraits of a fallen and heartrending world, has died at 80.Glück’s death was confirmed Friday by Jonathan Galassi, her editor at Farrar, Straus & Giroux. Additional details were not immediately available.Over more than 60 years of published work, Glück forged a narrative of trauma, disillusion, stasis and longing, spelled by moments — but only moments — of ecstasy and contentment. In awarding her the literature prize in 2020, the first time an American poet had been honored since T.S. Eliot in 1948, Nobel judges praised “her unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal.”Glück’s poems were often brief, a page or less in length, exemplars of her attachment to “the unsaid, to suggesti...

Hamas appears to have practiced border assault in plain sight

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:23:13 GMT

By Michael Biesecker and Sarah El Deeb | Associated PressLess than a month before Hamas fighters blew through Israel’s high-tech “Iron Wall” and launched an attack that would leave more than 1,200 Israelis dead, they practiced in a very public dress rehearsal.A slickly produced two-minute propaganda video posted to social media by Hamas on Sept. 12 shows fighters using explosives to blast through a replica of the border gate, sweep in on pickup trucks and then move building by building through a full-scale reconstruction of an Israeli town, firing automatic weapons at human-silhouetted paper targets.The Islamic militant group’s live-fire exercise dubbed operation “Strong Pillar” also had militants in body armor and combat fatigues carrying out operations that included the destruction of mock-ups of the wall’s concrete towers and a communications antenna, just as they would do for real in the deadly attack last Saturday.While Israel’s h...

Warriors notebook: Why rookie Brandin Podziemski has Steph Curry’s attention in practices

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:23:13 GMT

LOS ANGELES — Steph Curry is one of a handful of Warriors pointing to rookie Brandin Podziemski as a standout so far in training camp.“BP really has been showing how much he understands the game of basketball at a young age and how confident he is in himself and that shows every time he steps on the floor,” Curry said at shootaround in Los Angeles on Friday before the Warriors’ preseason game against the Lakers. “That’s a nice surprise.”Curry praised Podziemski, the No. 19 overall pick from Santa Clara, for his ability to stick out among a roster full of superstars.“You expect Klay (Thompson) to ball, you expect (Kevon Looney) to do what he does, you expect (Andrew Wiggins) to come back and assert his dominance on both sides of the floor,” he said. “All the guys we know, you don’t take it for granted, but you expect them to do what they do. I’ll add myself to that.”A poor scoring and shooting performance i...
