LITTLE JIMMY BROWN
Re: Jackie Mason & Raoul Felder's Trust First Impressions:

Mason & Felder's comments on the attire of Jimmy Carter -- brown socks and blue suit -- reminded me of when I enrolled at Penn for graduate work in 1959. After settling in at Penn, I made my first trip to New York City to see my dad, after he and my mother split up. Hoping to impress him in my new chocolate brown suit, the color of which was all the rage at USC, in Los Angeles, where I got my BS degree, my dad's first comment on opening of the door of his apartment was: "What's with the brown?"

GROUNDED
Re: The Washington Prowler's Left Behind:

The Democratic Black Caucus thinks it can slap President Bush in public and then complain that the president never asked them to go to Africa -- wahwahwah! The CBC never sees the positive only the negative of this President. So why should President Bush find himself in the company of perennially negative people when he is trying to deal positively with the problems of Africa?

Yes, the Congressional Black Caucus and the Black New York City Council members have a wealth of experience in African affairs. Perhaps the CBC could fill President Bush in on their support of Robert Mugabe. That would provide the perfect segue into why they also love Castro.

CBC had to accompany the Clinton contingent to have blacks represented. President Bush has Dr. Rice and Sec. Powell: people of real influence who can help Africa.

Could the reluctance of the White House to have little to do with the Congressional Black Caucus be a result of the desire to not be associated with a fully segregated, no-racial-diversity, group of public employees?

WRITE ALL ALONG
Re: John R. Dunlap's Theoretically Speaking:

Whenever I tire of reading the misspelled, miswritten, and generally illiterate notes my kids' teachers send home, I go back to the late Richard Mitchell's decade long assault on "educationists" for solace. You can too by going to www.sourcetext.com/grammarian. Enjoy.
