LETTERS

YOU HAVE previously re-ferred to Bill Kaufmann in your parenthetical
comments as an idealist, but "War on drugs disastrous failure" (May 11)
proves he is a realist who's done his homework.

Your capitulation on this issue is a clear message the Sun is not willing to
sacrifice the truth to maintain the slowly eroding status quo of
prohibition. Supporting a repeal of these insidious laws reveals
intelligence and pragmatism. Or is it just plain, old, common sense to
abandon a sinking ship?
