King's op-ed columns on Oct. 9, 16 and 23. I don't understand what is going on in this country. What lesson did Superior Court Judge Judith E. Retchin think she was teaching? I would like The Post to continue monitoring this story and situation. This is too important to ignore. JULIE FALCO Chicago - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
