Dear Ms. Newton: I think you will find that most newspapers charge to print death notices, and although the submissions invited by the Birmingham News are not death notices, they may be the next step but one, given the age of our war's veterans. We live in a time when the bottom line is all: money makes the world go round. I live a long way from Birmingham and have no wish to see a short paragraph about me in print there, so I'm not directly affected by any of this. Still, I can understand your reaction, and I suggest you write a letter to the editor of the News. -- Fran
