The arts section of the San Francisco Chronicle printed letters of Matthew's in 2000, 2007 and 2010; the Boston Globe printed a letter on December 3, 2007. These and other published works of his include:
2010
In this May 25 letter to the Chronicle, Matthew bemoans the failure of
Repair California's effort to call a state constitutional convention, and reprimands all three gubernatorial candidates for their uniform failures to engage with this vital and urgent matter.
[1]
2008
In the wake of the
fall elections' Democratic gains, Matthew argued that Congress should impeach and convict Bush and Cheney in the December 1 Tufts Daily.
[2]
In November 2008, Matthew directed the Tufts 3Ps Workshop production Sherlock Holmes: Baker Street Adventures, his own adaptation of
twoofArthur Conan Doyle's
short stories; the Daily profiled it on November 7.
[3]
Matthew wrote a September 15 letter to the Daily assailing two right-wing op eds; an unedited version is available
here.
[4]
Before Obama clinched the nomination, Matthew touted former Vice President Gore as a possible compromise tiebreaker in a February 12 letter to the Daily.
[5]
2007
More than seven years after first trumpeting
Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials books in the San Francisco Chronicle, Matthew did so again on December 28, 2007.
[6] Excised from the printed letter was a reference to the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano and a characterization of
C.S. Lewis'
Aslan as a "Christ-on-steroids" figure. The unedited submission can be read
here.
Matthew commented on a piece by Donna Freitas, Professor of Religion at Boston University, concerning theology in the book and film The Golden Compass in the December 3, 2007 Boston Globe.
[7]
Granted, a YouTube video hardly qualifies as "publishing", but this very short piece from the fall of 2004 (uploaded October 3) may nevertheless amuse:

Film critic
Roger Ebert responded to a question of Matthew's in his September 20 Answer Man column.
[9]
