• Letter: Different examples of the abuse of power

  05-09-2017 22:49
  Reading the Tribune Friday morning, two articles resonated on the same chord.First, the disturbing story of University Hospital nurse Alex Wubbels’ arrest for refusing a Salt Lake City police officer’s demand that she ignore the law and hospital policy and allow him to draw blood from an unconscious patient.Next, Barry Lynn’s Washington Post op-ed, recounting Google’s heavy-handed efforts to have him fired from the anti-monopoly think tank he co-founded.

• Pac-12 football: USC’s Jake Olson makes Pac-12's perfect weekend even better

  05-09-2017 22:45
  Even after Western Michigan’s third-quarter lead made USC’s season opener much more interesting than the Trojans planned, the game became more memorable.Jake Olson, who lost his vision at age 12, snapped the ball for the Trojans’ final extra point in a 49-31 victory Saturday in Los Angeles.Chase Dominguez, who completed a seemingly flawless Utah career in 2016, no longer is the most famous long snapper from Orange Lutheran in California. Olson followed Dominguez in that role in

• A recipe to make Steak Diane fashionable again

  05-09-2017 22:15
  I have been thinking about steak recipes with pedigree and history, such Steak au Poivre, Steak with Sauce Bordelaise and Steak Florentine, and the words Steak Diane popped into my brain. I had no idea what it even was. So I looked it up, finding a bunch of versions in my ever-growing collection of classic old cookbooks.There was nothing about the recipes that wouldn’t appeal today, even though Steak Diane has fallen off the popular-steak radar. The sauce contains one or more types of wine

Because the police obviously never wanted anyone to know about it. But, unfortunately, our local Gestapo didn’t get their wishes.Why?

• Letter: Hitting a child is never the best choice

  A front-page headline in the Aug. 12 Tribune reads, “Spanking a child is not abuse, says Utah high court.” The article goes on to clarify that in this particular legal case, there was not enough evidence given in court to prove that these children were harmed.This should not be taken to suggest that corporal punishment of a child is acceptable. While it is clear from our general experience that most children who are spanked turn out OK, it is also clear that some children are emotion
