Austin Bay: China’s communist dictatorship targets American creativity
Spies have always targeted more than military secrets. Gathering political intelligence and compromising personal information on enemy leaders is as old as our species. “Spying for profit” (economic gain) is old news, though globalization has increased the value of commercial and financial data.

Dennis Grafflin: Vaccination a safe procedure
Donna Dodge’s letter (May 2), stating an anti-vaccine position “based on facts … not propaganda,” would be more convincing if her most startling piece of evidence was not a clever distortion. The Supreme Court has not “ruled that they (vaccines) are ‘unavoidably unsafe’ and … quietly compensated victims more than $3 billion …” Ronald Reagan […]
