Letter in Providence Phoenix on "Buddy" Cianci ( 2003)

Letter published April 17-24, 2003:  I am not a fan or defender of the now imprisoned ex-mayor of Providence, Vincent "Buddy" Cianci. But I did not want him to languish in prison.

What happens to any man's soul in prison is always of great human interest. I'll bet many readers might enjoy a monthly LETTER FROM BUDDY. What does he think about late at night, all alone in very un-regal surroundings. What does he read?

I do miss his color and flamboyance. But how quickly prison can break a man. "Know thyself" advises the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates. What has Buddy discovered in prison about the real Buddy? Any spiritual growth here? A penny for your thoughts, Buddy.
