Rewilding of Europe

I loved that the Oct. 23 OneWeek article 鈥淎s Italy 鈥榬ewilds,鈥� its wolves return鈥� started with wolves near an airport in Rome, then led me outward with other wolves as far as Denmark. I knew nothing of the rewilding of Europe and the hope of increased small-town tourism. The piece was so well written and so informative. It represents what journalists should aspire to and the dissemination the internet developers foresaw. Kudos to the author and editors involved.

Guide to Puerto Rico鈥檚 challenges

Regarding the Oct. 9 OneWeek article 鈥淧uerto Rico: Out of the shadows?鈥�: Having previously lived in Puerto Rico for more than 12 years, I thought this was an excellent article that would give someone with little knowledge of Puerto Rico a very balanced perspective of what challenges people are facing there. Thank you.

Encouragement for students

Regarding the Oct. 9 Monitor Daily article 鈥淎 bus that brings learning into a danger zone鈥�: My heart goes out to that police department, to the brave traveling instructors and assistants, and especially to those students who take the risk of attending school. Don鈥檛 give up, any of you!

Hope for the future

The Oct. 6 Monitor Daily article 鈥淒ystopia redux: 鈥楤lade Runner鈥� reboot as a cultural yardstick鈥� was a good story. I do wish that Ray Bradbury鈥檚 short story 鈥淭he Toynbee Convector鈥� was better known. The story鈥檚 theme is that we strive to create the future we envision. I鈥檓 a big sci-fi fan but have grown weary of the dystopian visions that seem to equate despair with realism.
