CELEBRITY FODDER MUST GO

Surely there is something better to do with Page A2 than short features on "celebrity" breakups, divorces and other tabloid fodder.

How about a page devoted to people who are doing good things in the world? If you must include celebrities, how about congratulating those who've been married for decades?

Or how about using the page to recognize people who are making a positive difference in the lives of others? Is there a CEO, athlete, teacher or musician who's a role model for our children? Why not give them a pat on the back?

And surely you can offer something more substantial in the space given for celebrity tweets.
