LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
he story coming out of Philadelphia during the Republican convention last week was that there was no story. There was. But it would require journalists to focus more on the public's alienation and less on their own.
Speaking of the GOP, Republicans are looking back to find their future, reverting to what they always become during periods devoid of ideological combat -- a party of business.
Meanwhile, illegal immigrants continue to stream across the southern borders of the United States, most in search of better-paying jobs. Few expect to meet death, but it's a constant feature of the trek north.
Also, domestic partner benefits are becoming more common, actors help out with police training, and more.
