Stanley M. Aronson: Those asymmetrical word partners
One would think that a readily accessible vocabulary of a few hundred thousand English words should suffice for the varied communicative needs of virtually all of us. But our language reservoir has been augmented considerably by the selective employment of a handful of prefixes to provide ways of expressing the opposite sense to those meanings imparted by many a noun or adjective. Thus, for example, we have savory foods; and, by adding a simple prefix, we may also confront unsavory foods.

Froma Harrop: Urban future about more than population booms
Sunbelt-and-sprawl advocate Joel Kotkin wrote two years ago that the future of American urbanism wasn’t in the “elite cities,” such as New York, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco, but in “younger, more affordable and less self-regarding places.” He named (his order) Houston, Charlotte, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Dallas and Riverside, Calif.

Douglas W. Gablinske: Safety, convenience, flounder all argue against LNG
Recently the Rhode Island House Committee on Energy and Natural Resources held a hearing on H-7014, a bill that would require ships more than 150 feet in length carrying hazardous material to have at least 25 feet of clearance when passing under Rhode Island’s bridges. If passed, this bill will help to protect our bridges and create one more obstacle for the LNG facility that Weaver’s Cove Energy LLC through its parent company, Hess LNG, wants to construct in Mount Hope Bay.
