• Mitigating Economic Circumstances

In the immediate aftermath of the desperate measures taken over the weekend by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson to mitigate the worldwide financial repercussions following the collapse of Bear Stearns, the nation's fifth-largest investment bank, Japan's Nikkei 225 stock index shed nearly 4 percent of its value yesterday, closing below 11,800. To those who are understandably worried that the wrong policy responses to the bursting of America's housing bubble could unintentionally produce the "lost decade[s]" comparable to Japan's economic experience after its property and stock-market bubbles burst in 1990, it is worth pointing out that the Nikkei 225, nearly two decades after peaking in late 1989, is still 70 percent beneath its pre-bubble-burstin...

• Marines, Murder and Morality ; Justice Amid Mitigating Circumstances

Early in the film "Blazing Saddles," Jim, the Gene Wilder character, explains to Sheriff Bart, played by Cleavon Little, why he is no longer the Waco Kid, fastest gun in the West. Like all classic gunfighters of the screen, Jim found himself dogged by other gunmen eager to make a reputation by defeating him. Then one day he heard a voice behind him say "Draw, mister!" Jim drew his pistols and found himself facing a 6-year-old boy. In shock, the erstwhile Waco Kid threw his guns down, turned and walked away. At that point, the little boy shot Jim in the lower back. The incident reduced Jim to a shiftless inebriate. The viewer can readily understand Jim's reaction: The thought of shooting a child would be devastating to most of us.

• Milwaukee Police; Truth As the Standard; the Mitigating Circumstances Mean That the Fire and Police Commission Was Correct in Overturning Officer Alexander Ayala's Dismissal. But the Punishment Is Too Light.

The Milwaukee Police Department and the Fire and Police Commission should have something approaching zero tolerance for officers who lie. But Alexander Ayala isn't the officer they should make an example of in pursuit of that goal, particularly since, according to the police union, other officers are still on the force who have been disciplined for untruthfulness.

• Crews Well Trained

It would seem that the writer of the Feb. 22 letter "Alternative to 9-1-1?" needs to be made aware that the firefighting vehicles do not trail the paramedics. In a majority of cases, there is a highly skilled, trained paramedic assigned to those vehicles, and since the fire stations have been strategically placed throughout the city, the fire vehicle has a much shorter response time to an emergency. In addition, the crew is trained to handle any mitigating circumstances that might arise in said emergency.
