Same Experience

Written by admin on September 8, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Just read this to my friend (“SOS Etiquette,” Sept. 2) who is visiting, and she can totally relate. She had an old doorknob come off in her hand, and was trapped in her bathroom with no phone. She had to climb out of the window, onto a small landing (in 27-degree weather)

Perkins Fights For Environment

Written by admin on September 1, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: In the current New York State Senate, there are few lawmakers truly fighting for a better environmental future for New Yorkers. Bill Perkins is one such legislator. He has a proven record of fighting for New Yorkers and getting results. As State Senator for the 30th District, Bill Perkins has fought for

Colorful History

Written by admin on August 25, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To The Editor: Can we ever have (“Uncovering Forgotten New York,” July 21) too many historians? Never! Especially when they so eloquently bring our fascinating local history back to life. Coney Island’s “Dreamland,” the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire—almost everyone knows a little about these, but it’s the efforts of people like Kevin Baker filling in

Traffic Tragedy

Written by admin on August 25, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: Words fail to describe a criminal lawyer’s reaction to this tragedy (“Harsher Penalties in Traffic Crimes,” Aug. 18), along with the “situation that prevails” on the streets of NYC. To put it succinctly, we have laws that are not enforced; so many drivers have “carte blanche” to do as they wish. Need

Even more “Culture Schlock”

Written by admin on August 18, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To The Editor: I couldn’t agree more with your dismay at today’s Hollywood fare (“Culture Schlock,” July 22). Imagine what awaits us in the future if 3-D with IMAX sound becomes the standard format in moviemaking, and screenwriters and directors feel even more compelled to focus on eye-popping special effects rather than mind-expanding themes, ear-splitting

No Mail Weds.?

Written by admin on August 11, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To The Editor: In reading Ruth Unterberg’s letter (“No Mail Saturdays,” July 29), I’m inclined to partially agree with her—giving up one day of delivery to save the rising cost of stamps, which will continue to go up for some time as there does not seem to be a strong will to keep this from

What Mystery?

Written by admin on August 4, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To The Editor: I’ve lived across the street from Ansche Chesed since the ’60s, and I feel very protective of the place. The night that the ghost bike first appeared, I saw two men fiddling with it, and it looked like they were trying to light something underneath it, but I am not 100 percent

No Mail Saturdays

Written by admin on July 28, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: The U.S. Post Office is in financial hot water right now (who isn’t?), but I think that it would be preferable to eliminate Saturday mail deliveries than to raise postal rates. It would save millions. Ruth Unterberg New York City

Watching New York’s Checkbook

Written by admin on July 28, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To The Editor: As an advocate in New York City for more than three decades, I’m often asked, “Where do my tax dollars go?” Those answers can be found at the Checkbook NYC website recently launched by City Comptroller John Liu

West Side Republicans

Written by admin on July 28, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To The Editor: Clearly the author is either not familiar with or biased against Republican candidates (“Open State Senate Seat Draws Crowd of Candidates,” July 22). The article should have been titled “September Democratic Primaries.”
