Setting the record straight
THE EDITOR, Sir: In reference to The Gleaner editorial of Wednesday, March 26, headlined "Insolence of Office", I am cited as an example of some imagined conspiracy of silence existing among persons of authority in Jamaica.

Leaking crisis
THE EDITOR, Sir: I WRITE to note that the professed loss of 30 per cent of National Water Commission revenue, which I assume is based on 30 per cent volume of water lost to leaking, should be considered a crisis of national proportion.

High cost of a slide
THE EDITOR, Sir: WITH THE precipitous slide of the Jamaican dollar, the Government has once again applied the cudgel of high interest rates in a desperate measure to arrest its slide.

Problematic police force
THE EDITOR, Sir: I AM writing to you to publish an incident which happened to me, a 67-year-old Jamaican female travelling to Jamaica over the Christmas holidays to Mandeville, Manchester to visit my family.

Clean 'Fun in the Son'
THE EDITOR, Sir: THE 'FUN in the Son' concert last Saturday held at Island Village in Ocho Rios is certainly something good for our country at this time.

Authorised child abuse
THE EDITOR, Sir: NO ONE can convince me that we need two days to evaluate the basic academic competence of eleven-year-olds. In less than three hours, any well-designed test can measure any child's basic language and problem-solving skills.

A man of substance
THE EDITOR, Sir: I WRITE to encourage and hail the Rev. Stephen-Claude Hyatt as a man of substance and bravery. Many readers may not know that he is a young man under 30 years old.
