ATLANTA — The Virginia football team gained entry into the Chick-fil-a-A Bowl on Saturday night in large part because it spent the fall listening to all the things it hadn’t accomplished in a long time and then accomplishing those very things. Next item on the list: The Cavaliers had not concluded a season with a victo... | [

Lawrence did an excellent job highlighting the $2.9 trillion increase in the cost of obligations that Social Security and Medicare will have to pay out [“The bad news before Christmas,” op-ed, Dec. 29]. The growing cost of these obligations should motivate efforts to support the long-term solvency of these pro... | [

GLOUCESTER POINT, Va. — Under the murky waters of the York River, an eerie blur appeared suddenly on Edward Hogge’s sonar, near where his 40-foot deadrise boat sailed about a mile offshore on a cool December morning. Hogge made a hard right turn. “I’m going back to get it,” he said. He called out to his wife and first ... | [

Council member Harry Thomas Jr. (D-Ward 5) is the role played by the independent non-profit that administers city grant money for youth programs.
