Letters




Paper should support


Paper should support 'City of the Arts' concept

Dr. de Guehery's proposal that Wilson recast itself as the "City of the Arts" strikes me as the best Times letter I've read in my six years here. Although I regularly attend events in the performing and visual arts, I couldn't have named half the activities the letter enumerated.

In support of the proposal, how about devoting a column a week to an Arts Calendar? As far as this reader is concerned, you could subtract that space from your over-coverage of TV or from your hundred-plus sports columns each week.

Or how about dropping two of your three daily editorial cartoons, some of which lack wit, art, taste, or intelligibility. In one of today's cartoons, for example, a Democrat-donkey-sheriff stands next to a poster: Wanted John McCain "for rejecting taxpayer-paid campaign funds." I don't get it -- isn't it Obama, not McCain, who's rejecting taxpayer-paid campaign funds?
