Op Ed

An op-ed is a piece of writing, expressing an opinion. The name originated from the tradition of newspapers placing each columns on the page opposite to the editorial page. Thus the term "op-ed" is simply a combination of "opposite" and "editorial." We welcome submissions from our readers sent to editor@plymouthdailynews.com.

Not until Friday after the storm that has been christened "Nemo" did we get to Duxbury Beach. The name seems to come from the dark captain of the submarine Nautilus in Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," and is bound to stick.

By a quick headcount, 65 people gathered in the Merry Room at the Duxbury Free Library on Superbowl Sunday to hear Roland Merullo read from his novel, "Lunch With Buddha."
