Letter to the Editor: Denunciation is the sincerest form of flattery

Editor:
Since William Mulgrew reads my mind so well ("Inside Dr. Zaller's Brain," Jan. 19), perhaps he would like to ghostwrite a few columns for me. He would have to be careful, though, never to deviate a hair's breadth from Party orthodoxy - the party of one, that is, which is the only one I have ever belonged to. As for the commentaries that seem to be mushrooming beside my own, I can only say that dialogue is the best form of education, just as denunciation is the sincerest form of flattery. So, in the immortal words of our unelected leader: Bring 'em on!
