Pulling an underdog victory

The Opinion page article "A Tale of Two Campaigns," Nov. 2, mentions two reasons why the Conservative victory in Britain might not be matched by the Republicans here. Curiously, the author omits a third reason: The Conservatives had already voted out former Primer Minister Margaret Thatcher, while our Republicans were still stuck with President Bush long after United States voters were fed up with him.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
