Wednesday, October 21, 2026 6:36AMTwo 15-year-old Riverside County students have been arrested on suspicion of conspiring to carry out a school shooting at Corona High School, police said. CORONA, Calif. (KABC) -- Two 15-year-old Riverside County students have been arrested on suspicion of conspiring to carry out a school shooting at Corona High School, according to Corona police. Authorities said the investigation began after the FBI alerted the Corona Police Department and the Riverside County Sheriff's Office to social media threats that were flagged earlier this month. Detectives arrested a 15-year-old female student who attends Corona High School. The investigation also led to the arrest of a 15-year-old female student who attends Norco High School. According to Corona police, search warrants uncovered evidence that the two teens had spent several months researching school shootings and discussing how they could potentially carry out an attack at Corona High School. The investigation also revealed the pair discussed how they could obtain weapons to carry out the attack, police said.

Sage Stossel’s recent cartoon took me back a decade (“A hard-fought change to campus assault laws,” Opinion, Oct. 11). I was one of those students fighting to change Massachusetts’ campus sexual assault laws and organizing a scrappy event we hosted at Harvard Law School. In the wake of the Cornell case and the Globe’s coverage, I have two messages for today’s students and Jane Does. First, please know that there are tens of thousands of students and alumni across the country who care about you. We call ourselves the Every Voice Coalition and even in the face of Title IX decimation, we continue on. We are changing our education system state-by-state by pushing for legislative change. We are still here and we’re not going anywhere. Second, I helped write the Campus Sexual Assault Law in Massachusetts, which took effect in 2021. I was motivated to get involved because several dear friends were assaulted in college. Ten years after graduation, I can tell you that the Jane Does in my life are absolutely thriving. What happened to them was real and it mattered. It still matters. But their stories didn’t end there and there has been so much joy, love, and possibility in the chapters since

The op-ed by Susan Kohl Malone (“Permanent daylight saving time is not the fix we think it is,” Opinion, Oct. 19) argues against making daylight saving time permanent by underscoring its impact on circadian rhythms. At least three arguments complicate the notion that clock time needs to align with daylight time. First, the position of the sun in the sky varies by an hour or more between the easternmost and westernmost points of each time zone in the United States. For example, on Oct. 19, the sun sets in Lexington, Ky., at 6:54 p.m. and in Boston at 5:56 p.m. It’s not entirely clear that the additional hour of daylight in Kentucky has any demonstrable effects on the health of Lexington residents as compared to their counterparts in Boston. Second, as Malone points out, clock time does not change the actual amount of daylight in a day. Yet in much of the United States, day length varies so much over the year that our sleep-wake cycles cannot be aligned with it. In Boston, the longest day is 15 hours and 17 minutes and the shortest is 9 hours and 4 minutes, a difference of 6 hours and 13 minutes. Which of these is our circadian rhythm aligned with?

Jad Abumrad’s recent article, “I talk to people for a living. But the conversations weren’t clicking. So I tried a very strange experiment” (Ideas, Oct. 18) was intriguing. I understand the need for a journalist to create a tone to make an interview meaningful. The approach of using new techniques other than face-to-face interaction could improve the flow. I have choreographed conversations my whole life as part of my job. I find that small talk can start the process and then being able to identify common ground is what creates results. I describe the technique as schmoozing, which is basically chit-chat. I’ve thought about doing a talk show-style podcast, but given it’s audio-only, I guess I should reconsider that strategy. I will keep in mind the language of dance. I used conversation to pursue discovery in legal matters. There is an art to conversation and the dance floor is a good construct. I am attending a No Kings demonstration and I am sure the words will flow. Steven A. LudsinEast Hampton, N. Y.
