RE: Daniel Richardson and his Kill

Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom is correct.

Regulators should look out for this animal population especially in California where they are endangered and there is a ban on killing them. Unfortunately, I am told the ban is often breached in California by livestock owners.

By bragging and being photographed killing this beautiful animal, Daniel Richardson serves as a role model to encourage shooting them in our State on the sly.  We need a person in charge in California who protects the Cats, wildlife in general. And to say he eats the meat is an embarsaament.  I hope he is relieved of his duties and replaced with a protector. ASAP.

Remembering Bill Safire

Maureen,

Pleasing column on Bill Safire after his passing. I agree with you, he was a mensch.  He metaphorically and in fact had rumpled dignity in his demeanor and in his columns.  His were opinions worth reading.  I remember him and Scotty Reston middle and Tom Wicker on left, sort of a golden age of New York Times for me.

Sincerely,

Peter Dwares
