MADISON: Getting on the right side of history
We sometimes hear the advice to “get on the right side of history.”
LOU’S VIEWS/DINING: Studio Movie Grill makes reel changes to moviegoing experience
Since it’s selling itself as both an entertainment venue and a dining spot, I thought I’d take its lead and combine my A&E and dining columns this week.
HETRICK: A small-town ode to what seems like a carefree autumn
The leaves are falling fast in Pendleton. But the news is very different than what’s reported in bigger cities.
BENNER: Colts prove they can overcome ‘bulletin-board material’
The Colts-Broncos game lived up to the circus that led up to it.
Manage aging process
Thank you for including the [Oct. 7] article on the Global AgeWatch Index and the need for societies to better prepare for the impact of an aging population.
Asians help economies
Your [Oct. 14] editorial encouraging Asian immigration was spot-on. I have been saying for years that the United States, and Indianapolis in particular, should encourage Asians to migrate here.
Cultural Trail is ‘premier bicycle facility’
I really enjoyed Kathleen McLaughlin’s “Bike City” article [Oct. 14], with one exception.
MADDOX: Five years later, little progress made
For many, the bankruptcy filing of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 was the formal commencement of the Great Recession. Within days, we learned that American International Group and Merrill Lynch would be next in line.
RUSTHOVEN: Coats is GOP voice of sanity
In 1957, then-Sen. John Kennedy published “Profiles in Courage,” chronicling stories of senators who (in Kennedy’s rendition) risked careers to do the right thing in the face of political pressure.

Some of them are heroes; others will scare the living daylights out of you.

Hicks: Odds of Affordable Care Act failure keep rising
It is far too early to call the rollout of the Affordable Care Act a failure; most new programs have rocky starts. But this one has most of the signs of inevitable failure. If the situation doesn’t remedy itself quickly, the complete redo of the law will be hastened considerably.
Skarbeck: Firms with high ratios could take a tumble
On occasion, it is interesting to study the stocks of businesses that are outliers on the bell curve of business valuation. For a value investor, that means looking at stocks selling at huge multiples above traditional valuation yardsticks.
Hicks: Economists don’t know why economy is ailing
The first slowdown seems to have been at least partially remedied by the Federal Reserve’s massive purchase of assets known as quantitative easing, the most recent of which was accompanied by a marked short-term improvement in the economy. That improvement seems to have run its course.
MORRIS: Find a doctor, and call me in the morning
Political battles aside, there are practical concerns swirling around our health care future.
EDITORIAL: Eli Lilly’s cuts are necessary evil
If Eli Lilly and Co. sneezes, Indianapolis catches a cold. The statement has been so oft-repeated that it’s become a cliché.
DINING: New Carmel eatery joins upper crust of local pizzerias
And the housemade sauce is great for dipping. Third in a month-long series of reviews of restaurants in recently rehabbed spaces
