" Hello,City Hall.."

Good morning, Mr.Bakst,distinguished columnist of
   distinguished newspaper.I'm glad to see that you
   finally have an e-mail address. I wanted to praise
   a number of your recent columns-which reflected
   a rather bold liberalism here in Rhode Island -
   gay rights, Patrick Kennedy's position on the
   bombing of Yugoslavia ,etc.
        I told a politically savvy friend at a
   bus stop that a  Bakst column on Mrs. DiPrete
   was really quite sympathetic, although on the
   whole the Projo seemed to be hounding her
   family ruthlessly.Lately they seem to be laying
   off them -or perhaps the subject just dried up.
      One comment about the mess at City Hall:
    Can't Mayor Cianci see the literal MESS in front
    of City Hall ? Kennedy Plaza is often a disgrace
    with garbage all over the place.
         That area should be immaculate at all
    times. Visitors to Rhode Island surely take
    notice!
       I've been tempted to take a big green garbage
     bag with me one morning and clean up the place
     myself. But I would certainly be arrested and
     examined for evidence of mental instability.
       And I would immediately be registered as an
     enemy of the venerable labor union in charge
     of cleaning up the place.

           Have a nice day   RR
