Zoe Baird and the People's Choice

The reason for the rejection of Zoe Baird as attorney general is purportedly that she broke the law and therefore cannot be expected to represent it. However, the underlying tone in constituent opposition was envy at her $507,000-a-year salary. There is little hope for renewal if the nation continues to base decisions on envy and greed. Incidentally, doesn't mercy go hand in hand with justice? T. White, Arlington, Va.

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.
