THE PUBLIC MIND: LOCAL COLUMNIST PRAISED FOR SEASONAL COLUMN ABOUT ANGELS
(Letter to the Editor ~ 12/23/90)
Dear Editor: Aileen Lorberg's weekly column Lend Me Your Ear on Wednesday was unusual in content and quality. There was no issuing of orders on misplaced verbs and adverbs, on the proper use of the comma, when to employ a semi-colon, split infinitives, sloppy grammar, mispronounced words, "try to" never ever "try and," redundancies, and other "no-no's" of the English language...

SPEAKOUT
(Speak Out ~ 12/23/90)
I HAPPENED TO be home today with a slight touch of flu and I noticed my wife watching television. So I sat down to watch a little bit of it with her. A program called "Guiding Light" was on television. I think it is disgusting that the only thing these daytime television shows can show is people jumping in and out of bed all the time. I think they should be taken off the air. This is really disgusting. Thank you...

SPEAKOUT
(Speak Out ~ 12/23/90)
I JUST wanted to say that I think it's disgusting about people wanting to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday when there are a lot of other people who have accomplished a lot more and their birthdays could be celebrated. You don't hear anything about them wanting to be celebrated. I think this deal with Martin Luther King, Jr. is blown out of proportion. Thank you...
