Letter to the Editor: Publish in the Los Angeles Times (July 11, 2003 edition):
Re "Bush Denounces Bigotry at Storied Island of Slave
Trade," July 9: President Bush strongly condemns slavery? Well, that's
good news, isn't it? With an administration that seems determined to gut every
measure that has made this a better country (Head Start being the latest
victim: "Bush Pushes State-Run Head Start Plan," July 8), it's
comforting to know that the Emancipation Proclamation is safe — at least for now.
