I'm a believer in smart policy, but all the finger-pointing in the LA firestorm about hydrant flows and LAFD budgets seems like arguing about the adequacy of Hiroshima's 1945 building code standards. It's a way to evade the big questions.

Column by Michelle Singletary: Scam victims are finding solace in fraud support group programs. There, victims participate in small group discussions led trained facilitators where they receive understanding, empathy, and, most importantly, no judgment.
Column | Scam victims often feel shame. This support group helps them heal.
