Some people think the only really cont rove rsial part of the Daily is our illustriob
its own in the hate letter arena. Letters to the editor used to be examples of insp
cism, pushing us to make our reporting more ... inspired. But now, in the wordso
anything goes. "
Greil Marcus loved music editor Annette Petruso' s profile of him,
but objected to film editor Mark Binelli's masturbation references:

Re: What purports to be an announcement of Madison Smartt Bell's
reading
When you print such willful stupidity and show such startling
inattention to and lack of knowledge of the career of a visiting
writer, when ycu dsliver so slanted and inaccurate an editorial
assessment of the-work at hand, you should at least have the
grace and bravery to sign you reporter's bad name.

number of names this writer called Andrew Cahn:
