U.S. not going to pot - but Macera ?

  I don't believe in trial by newspaper . A man is

    innocent until PROVEN guilty. But Bill Macera comes out

    of your October 5 story literally smelling bad -reeking

    of marijuana. It would be far more serious a matter if

    the mayor had been driving under the influence of

    the still popular but still illegal drug.

           I agree with Froma Harrop : " Some day the sale

    and possession of marijuana will be legal from sea to

    shining sea "

            Bill Macera was my philosophy of religion

    instructor at CCRI. I got a B in his course.

            My impression of the ex-priest is that he

    is a good and decent man. But it is very challenging

    to REFORM Johnston, R.I.

            I am not writing this letter under the

    influence of pot.
