Summary: | I enjoyed reading James Klurfeld's moving tribute to his high school English teacher, Ronald Barry, mostly because Klurfeld was one of my most memorable teachers ["One great teacher can make a lasting difference," Opinion, June 30]. In a ratty, overcrowded building in South Jamaica, Klurfeld inspired and encouraged his classes in a way few ever could. We were all very sad when he left his short career as a teacher for journalism. According to a recent column, Ann Coulter is misunderstood and is really a funny, ironic wit in the tradition of Jonathan Swift ["Ann Coulter: extreme satire," Opinion, June 29]. I think I understand hate when I see it, and this is exactly what Coulter peddles, hate. She hates all things she considers liberal, whether they be politicians, people or ideas. To say that this administration has stopped hiring nonpolitical ADAs is inaccurate and ironic coming from a former employee of a DA who took thousands of dollars in contributions from his ADAs. This DA won't accept a dime from an ADA in her office and is the author of the strictest nonpolitical policy of any DA in New York State. |
