    Jamie,

    Don’t know if you remember me.
    Jon Rudd, WTOP TV, 1978, slightly screwloose weekend in the Hamptons .
    Anyway, saw your piece about Nancy and Nutsy and was most impressed.
    You definitely qualify as an “enemy of the people”.
    Keep up the good work!

    Yours,
    Jon Rudd

    Ms. Gangel may be a terrific person, but with substituting Costa for Bernstein, she is entering the swamp on all fours. She now has become an opportunist. Woodward and Costa are known to the thinking world as leftist hacks, but Simon, Schuster and Scum will publish blank paper if it has their name on the cover.
