WHAT WE ARE
First, what we are not: we do not claim to be a fountain of truth. But we do
try to ferret out what is not revealed.
We do not claim to have all the answers. But we try to lay out all the
parameters of the issues -- we hate selective reporting, the virus invading
journalism reaching its apogee in the "embed".
What we are is a modest website. We hope to remain so, and will never ask
you for donations.
We do not have live comments because we do not have the capacity to
monitor them for abusiveness. While we cannot respond individually to
sent comments, they do affect our decisions. So please keep writing.
Lastly, we also try to offer lighter fare -- a restful bench under the trees, if
you will, where the doom, gloom and heat of the news is tempered by a cool
summer breeze. We will continue to serve as a platform for understanding
and peace in this fraught world.
WHO WE ARE
Arshad M. Khan, Editor, is a former Professor. Educated at King's College
London, Oklahoma State University and the University of Chicago, he has a
multidisciplinary background that has frequently informed his research. He
was elected a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and a
Chartered Member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. He has been a
CPA and CMA in the U.S. as well as a Registered Professional Engineer. Off
and on (more off than on), he has contributed to the print and electronic
media. His work has been published in the Congressional Record and
quoted in the U.S. Congress.
Meena Yust, Associate Editor, is a graduate of Vassar. She prepared a
weekly cryptic crossword and wrote occasionally for the Vassar Miscellany
News during her undergraduate years. She retains an interest in puzzles,
boardgames -- modified versions of Monopoly, Ludo, etc. -- and travel. She
also designed the website.
