John Howell & Allen Shawn Feinstein

             If  Stephen Hamblett had three articles with his name attached

    to them on the front page of HIS newspaper, The Providence Journal - readers

    might question his prudence. Should not the PUBLISHER of even a local

    newspaper- like the Warwick Beacon - confine his writing to the editorial

    page ?  Nobody questions the right of a publisher to write for his own

    newspaper. But isn't a lower profile for the publisher better journalism ?

            Mr. Howell seems to have something in common with  Allen Shawn

    Feinstein - a good man, a kind man, a smart man .  We are no more likely

    to forget that he is a PHILANTHROPIST than we are to forget that John

    Powell is THE PUBLISHER !

        I hope he also has a sense of humor- or my own obscure name will

    remain - well OBSCURE - in his Warwick Beacon .

           There is always the New York Times.
