Geyer: The rise of greed and grievance in America

Oct 12, 2018 1:00 AM - Georgie Anne Geyer: Like many Americans struck by the liberal versus conservative political and social divides in America, I have been trying to make some sense of it all these last few tormenting weeks.
Kavanaugh episode reveals America's departure from goodness

Oct 5, 2018 1:00 AM - Columnist Georgie Anne Geyer: One of the things that has occurred to me this last week -- besides the idea of moving alone to a cabin in northern Siberia or offering myself as a sacrifice to some Amazonian tribe -- is that it used to be the woman's "past" that was vilified, ogled over and deliciously relished, her evil "secrets" always grimly and accusingly revealed without mercy.
Forgotten Iran-Iraq war was precursor to turmoil of today

Sep 27, 2018 1:00 AM - Columnist Georgie Anne Geyer: This week marked the anniversary of a war most Americans scarcely remember, but which definitively influenced our times.
Tax change did more to disrupt Puerto Rico than Maria

Sep 21, 2018 1:00 AM - Columnist Georgie Anne Geyer: When you read about the tragic deaths in Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria, you'll find two "real" stories pulling you to tears and anger with their drama, pathos and sense of injustice.
Middle East wars fade in the fog of Washington

Sep 14, 2018 1:00 AM - Columnist Georgie Anne Geyer: Last week, while the specter of The New York Times' "anonymous" editorial haunted the White House, and this week as we again mourned our losses 17 years ago on 9/11, I have been deep into watching the old documentary about Robert McNamara and how he led us to our national disaster in Vietnam.
Climate is new driver of global conflict

Sep 6, 2018 1:00 AM - When I first went overseas as a foreign correspondent in the 1960s, the style of foreign coverage fit the stories of the time. But those stories were tremendously different from the important stories of today, and we ignore the startling changes facing us only at serious risk. In those early days, coverage tended to be boringly acronymic. The MNR was pitted in elections in the Andes against other acronyms of political parties; the PRD in Santo Domingo led another procession of largely ho-hum stories. Wars and internal struggles occurred between countries and between militaries, and not only our atlases but our minds assumed that the proclaimed borders of even politically fragile nation-states were what we should be writing about.
The stark contrast between a patriot and a poser

Aug 31, 2018 1:00 AM - Columnist Georgie Anne Geyer: I was deep into preparing a column about Labor Day, our great end-of-summer celebration of the valiant toil of our working men and women, delving into its founding as far back as 1885 to commemorate those who, as one union brother put it, "from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
A 'Galileo Moment' on birth control for the Catholic Church

Aug 24, 2018 1:00 AM - Columnist Georgie Anne Geyer: Until last week, the predominant attitude of most of the American public about the problems of "predator priests" seemed to be that it was tragic, but limited in scope.
There's much at stake for the public in journalism's success

By Georgie Anne Geyer
Aug 19, 2018 1:00 AM - Columnist Georgie Anne Geyer: When I look at what seems to have become our national "conversation" on the press, it appears that every level of journalism has devolved into such an endless barrage of insults and calumny that I want to flee to some quiet, hidden place, safe from the very give-and-take I have treasured all my life.
Rational immigration policies are a needed first step

Aug 7, 2018 1:00 AM - It would seem to many that the famous German soccer star left the national team for good reason. One day he was at the top of the pantheon, the next he was being criticized in ways he was angrily convinced were discrimination because of his family background in Turkey. Mesut Ozil, after all, was one of Germany's favorite sons. His grandparents had originally come from a small Turkish village, but that was many years ago. And so what if he had posed for a photo with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Ozil insisted the picture was simply the result of what is now being called in Europe loyalty to "dual heritage countries."
