As a writer who usually focuses on the political scene, I noticed a recent dichotomy in the Review-Journ. On Page 1A was the story of a terrorist who shot fireballs at an Israeli group. Inside, there was the story of 12 people killed in a Mexican rehab center. Finally, there was a story of 200 people killed in a flood in Nigeria. Lots of bad things are happening in the world, right?

Then the dichotomy. On Page 3A, the Review-Journal brings us “THE PIC ME UP” photo. It shows a baby duck being fed by its parents. The RJ (assisted by nature) has skillfully added a different slant to the world. Not one of death and destruction, but of nature, beauty and letting us know there is much more to life than tragedy. Thank you.

In his May 21 column, Victor Joecks wrote that we should “stop stressing out about climate change.” On June 3, the Review-Journal featured a story about a survey by UNLV which found that heat is a hot topic.

LETTER: Tinkering with mail-in voting
Jerry Sturdivant Las Vegas

I agree it’s reasonable to call for tighter oversight of mail-in ballot counting (June 6 Review-Journal editorial), but such scrutiny must apply across the board, not just in select areas.
