Letters

I am disappointed in New Times for not giving equal weight to the statements of an outstanding black man who has demonstrated his concern for, and has provided service to, both black and nonblack communities.

DeFede's Herald Jones
Has Jim DeFede always had this hangup about the Miami Herald? He mentioned the paper eight times in "Only Himself to Blame." It was distracting to me, and possibly to him as well, since he missed a simple fact: Sen. John Warner's question to Daryl Jones was so awkward it left too much room for interpretation. To call the response a lie in that setting was wrong. If Mr. DeFede wants to keep up with the Joneses, he might try concentrating less on the Herald and more on Daryl.
