I first became acquainted with Ms. King's writing and fine mind as a result of subscribing to the Gainesville Times some 10 years ago.  Though we differ in perspective and conclusions in many areas her intellectual approach and clarity of expression is a model to be emulated/ The following are some of her columns as they appeared in the Times. There are also a few other writings she has graciously given me permission to include.

Enjoy and expect to be challenged. - wlw
