    Representatives of Iran, Iraq and Israel sat next to each other in the room.
    This was not the United Nations, although you might have left wishing it was. And it wasn’t a meeting of tourism and convention bureaus.

    Without citizen vigilance, our fragile democracy will succumb

    We have to search for words that appropriately express our gratitude to the donors who have given so much to help our local schools through this financial crisis. As of Friday, six donors had given $285,000 to help make up some of the school district’s projected budget shortfall, and islanders contacted by phone in Thursday’s phone-a-thon had pledged $55,000 more.
