Funerals for Gang Members

As I’ve been stridently critical of one-sided Times reporting, may I be among the first to credit you for the exceptional coverage of Cadillac Jim’s funeral. It is refreshingly free of prejudgments. The color and emotion of the moment carry the gang article splendidly. Yet there is no emotional piety on the writers’ part. The event is not hectored into a preconceived political tract.
