Forks in the Road to Recovery? To the Editor: Harvey Weisenberg’s article about New York’s imaginary recovery “New York is on the Path to Economic Recovery,” (September 7th issue) reminds me of Robert Frost’s poem, “The Road Not Taken,” about choosing one of two divergent roads in the woods, and looking back years later to [...]

I Absolutely Support Feffer To the Editor, In reference to your article “Dems Put-up 24 Year-Old to Face Skelos” (August 10th), please correct some errors. Although it reports my saying that “it’s too early in the election season to make a decision on whether he supports the nomination of Feffer,” what I said to the [...]
Standard As Spoiler
To The Editor: Your editorial “Scaturro as Spoiler” (August 3rd) is divorced from reality. Unlike your description, Scaturro built the only campaign that could defeat Carolyn McCarthy, and he did not base his candidacy on a sense of entitlement.

O’Doul an Anti-Semite? To the Editor, I have a complaint about one of your writers “Danny O’Doul.” His articles have a tone and context of thinly veiled anti-Semitism i.e. The “Chometz” article of the April 6-19, 2012 issue. All of his articles aimed at the Jews in this neighborhood are extremely offensive and should never [...]
