And don't forget, "it is Pompano": When it comes to capital letters, Bob Norman's name sure screams out loud and BIG. I enjoyed his article ("Marina Madness," April 4) very much, but what's new? I am sure you have heard "you can't fight city hall." Well, that's for sure, not...

What about Dad? Susan Eastman's article "Not Kid Stuff" (March 28) is timely and well-written. It boggles the mind to imagine that this story is being repeated over and over in our community and around the nation. I honestly believe that these youths are not inherently evil and that their...

Adopt a new law: As a resident and Florida voter, I am outraged by Florida's ban on gay adoption as described in Ashley Fantz's March 21 story, "A Queer Law." I am a devoted Presbyterian and come from a long line of ministers. My family settled in Florida in 1904...

Miles to go: Just a few words to let you know that Ashley Fantz's March 21 story, "A Queer Law," was great. As a gay man, I'm very offended not only by laws in Florida but by laws throughout the country about homosexuality. Even though I think we've come a...

The Andre Johnson cheating case remains a subject of discussion at the University of Miami. Seven members of UM's faculty senate are investigating the case, in which the star football player was caught cheating on his classwork, but will still be allowed to play this fall. "I have asked the...

No evidence: In regard to Steve Ellman's March 14 story, "Making Airwaves," there can be little doubt that "The Dick" Farrel will lose his court case against the former schoolteacher, Larry Ferrara. After all, Farrel, according to New Times, has offered no proof Ferrara is a pedophile or a threat...

Take notice, Tally! Thank you for publishing "You Can't Handle the Truth!" (Strouse, March 7). I think everyone assumes that if public officials don't want us to know what they are doing, they should not be doing it. With that in mind, please keep up the good work. It would...

It's 7:06 a.m. on Wednesday, February 6, and Palm Beach County's last outpost of locally produced talk radio, WPBR-AM (1340) is on the air. The station's disclaimer has run -- "The views and opinions expressed on this program are those of the host, guests, and callers and do not necessarily...

MEMORANDUM March 7, 2002 To: Michael Satz, Kathy Rundle, South Florida prosecutors, police officers From: CES Re: Misplaced priorities It has come to my attention recently that you law-enforcement types have lost respect for a little something called the truth. No, this isn't 9/11-related. Cops have been hassling reporters and...

...makes Sherri look good: Do Chuck Strouse's knuckles scrape the ground when he walks? Just wondering. Because the last Undercurrents penned by him (February 14) about the janitor named "Mike" is such a low, juvenile attempt at journalism that I can only imagine Strouse is a slack-jawed, gap-toothed, suspendered hillbilly...

She's not trying to put words in our mouths, but...: In her February 14 article belittling the journalistic ethics of the Broward Times ("Print and Politics"), Ashley Fantz exposed some shortcomings of her own. Interviewing me, she repeatedly had occasion to say, "I'm not trying to put words in your...

History relived, not relieved: I want to thank you for Jeff Stratton's excellent article, "A House Surrounded" (February 7). The history of Fort Lauderdale has been decimated by the developers who come and leave our county with barrels full of money. Our historical buildings and houses are all but gone...

Ready for reportage: Why is it always a fear of something? Why not title Jeff Stratton's January 24 Bandwidth column "Disgust of a Black Chili Pepper?" Stratton is the one afraid to tell the truth. I suppose he worries about job security in times like these. Let me enlighten you...

WorldWide response: Bob Norman's January 24 column on "Betty" the whistleblower and her accusations against WorldWide Security ignored most of my comments to your reporter and leaves a distorted picture of the situation. Allow me to reiterate the key points that your reporter conveniently omitted. The article omits my statements...

Spiritual bankruptcy abounds: I happened to stumble on Chuck Strouse's column on the art debate in Hollywood ("Ax, Lies, & Audiotape," January 17). I think it was the word dullards that caught my eye. Once again... a liberal never fails to show his true colors. Granted, the Easter Bunny and...

Christians have rights too: With all due respect, I will never understand the modern liberal mind that is so offended by God and religion and devotes so much time and energy to its crusade of opposing any free expression of faith but then at the same time celebrates with such...

It seemed an ugly end to an even uglier dispute. "Controversial art to be moved," read the headline on page 3B of the January 10 Sun-Sentinel. "Museum agrees to make location less prominent." Leaders of the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood, the paper reported, had decided to take down...

Norm Kent revisited: Upon reading the cover story regarding Gary Steinsmith ("Drug Holiday," Ashley Fantz, January 10), I was unclear as to what purposes the author was seeking to achieve. If she was seeking to reveal the limitations of the social service agencies about which she reported, her exposé seemed...

Boring in on Strouse: I can't take it any longer. Why do you waste my time with your sniveling, piffling, ridiculous Undercurrents offerings? After each and every column I find myself asking myself, "...And?" If you are attempting to demonstrate to the world that the column's author is a peevish...
