Small Doses of Reality

Kudos for Sam Hall Kaplan’s “wish list.” What is great about so many of your columns is your ability to “touch the nerves” of so many local constituencies who seem (so often) immobilized, for whatever reason, and hence fail to produce.

I find resonance with most if not all of your items . . . let’s hope those involved can find a way to respond. While it may be true that many of the issues you raise are oversimplified for the purposes of your column, there must still be some way to get some of these items onto front burners.
