New Yorker magazine:
“TO OUR READERS: The New Yorker
this week devotes its entire editorial space to an article on the almost complete obliteration of a city by one atomic bomb, and what happened to the people of that city. It does so in the conviction that few of us have yet comprehended the all but incredible destructive power of this weapon, and that everyone might well take time to consider the terrible implications of its use. – THE EDITORS”
New London The City Council has scheduled an Aug. 10 referendum to allow voters to determine the fate of a controversial police staffing ordinance.
The council repealed the 80-officer ordinance in March, calling the number arbitrary and not supported by any recent studies on city policing. The council’s repeal led to a petition drive and collection of enough signatures to force the council to either rescind its vote or schedule a referendum.
A previous council had passed the 80-officer ordinance in 2014 during a time when there was a drop in the number of officers and low morale at the police department in part because of a threat of layoffs. There were 65 officers at the time the ordinance was passed and the 80-officer goal was never reached. The department had 73 officers as of last month.
As The Day s military/defense reporter, I work to explain complex issues in a way the everyday citizen can understand. On any given day, I can be found poring over defense budgets, writing a feature on a local veteran or documenting the impact of deployments on those left behind. I even spent two nights aboard a submarine.
