The Eazy-E approach vs. Cosby method

EAZY-E had a son, Lil’ Eazy-E, whom he didn’t raise, didn’t live with, and who was “never insulated from the streets by his father’s fortune -- even as [his father] grew rich and influential.” And yet writer Chris Lee and the son can only find praise for the father who left his son in Compton [“His Own Attitude,” Oct. 19]. Apparently they believe Eazy-E’s success rapping is more important than his disinterest in parenting.

Funny how this story gets the biggest type and photo on Page 1 of Calendar, yet Bill Cosby’s meeting in Compton to address parenting, education and social responsibility gets Page 2 the same day.
