Ya gotta read the NYT letters to the editor today!!! (Sunday)

A week or so ago last Friday, David Brooks wrote a column lamenting the loss of idealism on the part of both campaigns (!!). Today all the letters were devoted to this column. As far as I can tell, the Times typically divides the letters based on the proportions that were recieved. Today no one agreed with Brooks. It was a great collection of intelligent kudos for Hillary.

I've been fuming about Shields and Brooks all summer and into the fall. I posted two OPs about it. I sure was happy to see these letters.

Sorry, no link to the Letters to the Editor. The links below are to my fuming OPs.

In the Opinion section there's a subsection titled "Letters", but that's not letters to the editor.
