Dear Editor: In Mr. T. Weed’s letter to the opinion column dated February 20, he stated that there is no celebrating Lincoln this President’s Day.

Dear Editor: I found it painful and sad to read the letter to the editor that maligned not only Councilman David Roberts, but, by implication, a number of his named colleagues.

Dear Editor: The members of the Connors School Ski Club want to express their gratitude to everyone who supported their effort to make their ski trip a reality. Special thanks to Police Officer David Costello, Sgt. Kevin Houghton and the Hoboken Police Ski Team, for their generosity and donation. Additional funds were raised by the …
Dear Editor: I’ve greatly enjoyed the discussion to date about this novel development project since its public unveiling at All Saints in January. The level of attendance at that meeting, however, prevented me from expressing several questions and concerns to the developer and my fellow Hobokenites. Since these have not yet been raised in the …
Dear Editor: The following is an open letter to Vice President Al Gore: I was quite taken aback by your comments at the Apollo Theater when you said that “racial profiling practically began in New Jersey.” I understand that you were trying to make the point that Senator Bradley did little, if anything at all, …
