  3. Letters on letters: No excuse for not voting

    Judging by the hundreds of letters we received on L.A.'s mayoral campaign (and other races) between the March 5 primary and Tuesday's election, Angelenos weren't exactly thrilled watching the candidates engage in political fisticuffs for nearly three months.
