Letters of the Times

Description

A collection of letters to the editor of the New York Times and other publications covering a wide range of events and issues from the mid-1960s to 2010. A large number have been published; many have not. The material raises vital questions about the behavior of the press in a democracy, not least how "the newspaper of record" determines editorially "without fear or favor" what news is fit to print and the emphasis to be placed upon a particular story.
