Staten Island: In regards to Voicer Fran Boffa’s letter (“Honor of Black boy, 10, killed by police in 1973,″ April 29) saying that she was a “very disturbed white reader,” as she identified herself after reading about the death of Clifford Glover and why the police officer’s race was mentioned: In April 1973, I was playing with my friend and former classmate Clifford Glover at the pediatrician’s office our respective mothers had coincidentally made appointments at on the same day. Afterwards, we told each other we’d see each other later.
West Caldwell, N.J.: I’ve lived in the greater New York City area for 40 years and up until last March, served the city as a yellow cab driver full-time for the last eight of them. I’ve been watching this year’s mayoral race closely as nearly every quality of life issue has gone downhill. I was hoping that “Ed, Dave, Rudy, Mike, Bill and Me” (op-ed, Feb. 28) would give me better insight into many of the frontrunners vying to replace Big Bird next year. Unfortunately, this piece left me disappointed.
