READER MAIL

Comments:    Many  readers of the Providence Journal here will miss columnist Bob Kerr . I find it weird that talk radio demagogue John DePetro, who routinely referred to Bob as " Comrade Kerr ", gloated over his rather unceremonious exit from 75 Fountain St, while playing-and replaying- the Russian National Anthem as it sounded in the Stalin era. Too many younger Americans have forgotten the nightmare McCarthy years.
>   Also very weird: a few weeks ago the Providence Journal published a letter from a former Army colonel who said that their former editorial page editor, Robert Whitcomb, was as far left as an American journalist can be and still be " employable ".  Daffy Tea Party cranks are now to decide which journalists are employable ? Shades of McCarthyism at the new McJournal ?
