I hope that you will enjoy Muriel’s articles as she is numbered among the best columnists in the world today. There are some dates which have columns which were never published. My mother’s conservative outlook on life is in direct opposition to the extreme liberalism of the paper in which she is published. In addition, sometime during the year 2000, they cut her column in length. So that is the reason for the disparity in length after a certain date. If there are incorrect dates on any of the articles, please accept my apologies as I have tried to recreate dates after the fact in some cases. Feel free to correct me on dates by emailing me, Candace, with Straight Talk in the subject line. Questions, comments and concerns may be addressed to me regarding the website. Any comments regarding Muriel’s articles may be addressed to her directly, Muriel. Thank you for your support of Muriel’s columns. |
