Eliminate BP’s Office

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

To the Editor: It is regrettable in a city where so many have lost their jobs, that the Manhattan Borough President proposes a vegetable garden in City Hall Park (Express, “State of the Borough,” Feb. 11). It is yet another milestone—not on the road to City Hall, but to the elimination of the borough presidencies.

Library Facelift

Written by admin on February 26, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: My recent visit to the Saint Agnes Library re-opening stirred the muse in me. The renovation has melded the traditional building that benefactor Andrew Carnegie envisioned with 21st-century technology he never dreamed of

Critique of Critic

Written by admin on February 26, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: I have never liked Armond White’s film reviews. I find him smug and arrogant, a man who clearly believes he knows more than he does about filmmaking and film history, and thinks he is a better writer than he actually is

Bus Route Question

Written by admin on February 17, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: I was pleased to see “Bus Routes Spared, But Service Cuts Possible” (Jan 28). However, I believe there is an error. The M10 bus, which goes south on Central Park West, is noted as service to be discontinued south of Columbus Circle and I see an asterisk (*). Below there is a

Not Ford’s Time

Written by admin on February 17, 2010. Posted in Opinion and Column

To the Editor: I read Hilda Classon’s Jan. 28 letter questioning what qualifies Harold Ford to be our junior senator, commenting on your Jan. 21 editorial, “Run, Harold, Run.” I agree with Ms. Classon, and I believe I can add something to her discussion. I was born in New York City, live on the Upper

Christmas, Continued

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

To the Editor: Although it would be easy to think of Malachy McCourt’s belated rant on Christmas (“’Tis Not the Season,” Jan. 21) as mean-spirited, he is actually mostly correct. He says, “The so-called Christians… converted the feast of the sun god into a celebration of the birth of Jesus…” Actually, “Christmas” was created in

Support for Paterson

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

To the Editor: While it may help to compare New York to some other state governments (New Jersey, California) that are arguably even more dysfunctional than our own Empire State, it’s a poor consolation (“The Right Reforms,” Editorial, Jan. 14). This is not even a partisan battle. Entrenched thinking, special interests and sweetheart deals have

The 51st State

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

To the Editor: The Jimmy Breslin Q&A (Jan. 28) was a wonderful trip down memory lane. It reminded me of a great idea put forward by the team of Norman Mailer/Jimmy Breslin in the 1969 Democratic mayoral primary. They proposed making New York City the 51st state. Considering the historic imbalance of tax dollars going

Ford’s Senate Ambitions

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

To the Editor: “Run, Harold, Run” (Editorial, Jan. 21)? A really bad mistake! Mr. Ford has been in Manhattan for a whole three years. What does he know about us or our sister boroughs? Because he has chosen to live here, I have to ask, “Mr. Ford, do you know me?” Of course not! But

Puppy in the Window

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

To the Editor: Kudos to “Ask the Vet” contributor Dr. Robin Brennen for her “On Pets as Presents” column (Dec. 24), in which she explained the importance of thinking long and hard before getting a pet, and promoted adopting from a shelter. Dr. Brennen briefly mentioned “that puppy or kitten in the window.” The great
