From the editor's desk, Sept. 19: PV High overcomes major hurdle
After more than a decade of lawsuits, angry meetings and countless students graduating without having experienced a complete high school, it finally happened.

“American Assassin” does absolutely nothing new. That would be fine if it did any of the recycled action-thriller elements well but it doesn’t.
