Griffith, Amanda L. "What if You're Bad at Math?-Room for Debate- NYTimes.com." The New York Times.
In this response to, Career Counselor: "Bill Gates or Steve Jobs?," Griffith implies that college students with degrees in engineering, science, or business will come out with more rates of success.

Even though degrees of engineering, science, and business are scarce, Griffith goes onto imply that once more and more students change their majors to those three degrees, what students will go onto succeed in liberal art fields?

Vargas-Cooper, Natasha. "We Work Hard, but Who's Complaining?" The New York Times. 2 April 2011.

Scott Walker of Wisconsin made a mistake on stripping public employee unions in states that the first principle of militant unionism is: An Injury to One is an Injury to All. Vargas-Cooper had the intention to remind union readers that women have come a long way to earn respect in this world, and Governor Walker put the process back a few years. This article of concern is aimed towards union workers, women, and the people who are unaware of the turmoil in Wisconsin.
