‘Dear Patti’

* Re “36 Steps for Those Without the Wisdom to Know the Difference,” by Patti Davis, Commentary, Feb. 28:

Dear Patti: You may continue to shoot yourself in the foot if you must, but please don’t shoot others. The desire to atone for one’s mistakes should never come at the expense of another. Instead, I would like to suggest to you that you address George, who seems to want to emulate both Ronald’s personality and policies. I can assure you that while Ronald’s personality was charming, his policies hurt my family much more than Bill and Hillary’s imperfections.
