Letter to the Editor: Editing for Personal Preference

By By Bryan Embley and By Bryan Embley • September 29, 2002

Editor: After the tasteless mudslinging, Chris Yeates eventually got to his point in his Sept. 26 column, "If You Can't Beat Them, Just Co-opt Them."

Letter to the Editor: Yeates Ignores Logic of Belief
