• Some Arborists See Topping As a `Crime Against Nature'

They're everywhere; trees disfigured and dying from years of abuse. Specifically, I'm referring to the misguided practice of tree topping. Also known as pollarding, stubbing, dehorning, heading and several other terms, it has risen to crisis proportions nationally over the last decade. Topping is considered the most harmful tree-pruning practice known. In fact, it's regarded as such a serious crime against nature that one organization's major efforts over the past two decades has been to stop this "torture and mutilation.

• Don't Give Heroin to Heroin Addicts

As executive director of the Waismann Institute, which is dedicated to the advanced treatment of opiate dependency, I think it is a crime against human nature to facilitate th...
