A Juvenile Columnist

I suppose your new Sunday Opinion columnist, Joel Stein, was hired for his youthful edginess, but all I’m seeing is someone juvenile and coarse. Why not bury him on the Sports pages or somewhere where his stories of porn star encounters won’t take space away from the issues facing our troubled city and world? Better yet, fire him and the dope who thought he was a good idea.

I have subscribed to The Times since the 1980s, but it’s come to this: him or me.
