Dear Mr. Black:
Let me offer congratulations, here in dawn's early,
uncomfortable light, to the courageous stand the Inquirer and
you took on Sunday, Some undoubtedly have called you foolhardy,
but I think respect and integrity are built upon such stuff.
No one would confuse Bill G-reen III with Abraham
Lincoln, but you chbse him in the face of known prevailing
sentiment in the town, unfavorable backlash, the relative
neutralism of your rivals and, most remarkably, with no
self-interest on your part, I know the political history scene
of Pennsylvania fairly well, and I cannot recall such a risky
effort in the cause of good newspapering ever made before.
This easily surpasses 1951, when the Inquirer and the Bulletin
raised snorts in the Union League by going hand-in-hand for
Joe Clark.
My congratulations again for rating at least a
footnote for gutsy independence, which I hope never goes out
of style.
Cordially,
