LETTER OF THE DAY - A country in need of real men
THE EDITOR, Sir: KOFI ANNAN, the secretary-general of the United Nations, on a visit to India on April 27, 2005, lamented that the problem of HIV/AIDS was acquiring a 'woman's face'.
Destroying the forest, while saving trees
THE EDITOR, Sir: SOMETIME AGO a handful of Jamaicans decided to scatter a few seeds in some parts of Kingston. Because there were good nutrients in the soil at these locations, tiny trees started sprouting up.
Unfair criticism, Mr Rae
THE EDITOR, Sir: I READ Mr. Norman Rae's critique on Orett Rhoden's recent performance at the University Chapel in Mona and was appalled that this could have been written by what I subsequently found out was a Jamaican.
A cry for help!
THIS IS a cry for help. The letter following was written by my 11-year-old daughter who is extremely traumatised. She is in the process of writing to the Prime Minister, Governor-General, Opposition Leader and others.
Expensive hospital bills
THE EDITOR, Sir: THIS IS to advise that I had a mature part-time helper, 82 years old. He became ill, and was admitted to the Spanish Town Hospital on December 4, 2004, and died on the 9th - five days later.
