By Dr. Don O. Rowe, MD, FACC More than a year and a half into a global pandemic that has disproportionately impacted communities of color, we continue to live through a public health tragedy.

Political Distancing Two days before Russia’s invasion, China’s foreign minister Wang Yi said the “sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of any…
By Robert C. Koehler Peace, in the deepest sense — in the midst of war — requires a clarity and courage well beyond the boundaries of linear understanding. The warning lights flash. World War III has entered the red zone. Can we stare into hell and refuse to see . . . an enemy? This is the deep, haunting need that is now required, as we clutch tomorrow, hold it tight, vow to protect it with our lives.
