<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How interesting this is! I stopped taking the DN
some time ago because of Vera White. I realize that a newspaper should have
all points of view but I didn't like having her brand of hate in my home. I went
on the web and read what Iverson wrote and I guess I just think it is a
conservative answer to the nonsense that White has written for years. Just the
other side of the story so to speak. Maybe we should all take the paper and keep
them honest with our letters to the editor and accepting calls for guest
articles. It is a free press after all that cannot be any better than the
community. These two different sides are a reflection of the community. I
bet most of you love Vera White! </FONT></DIV>

Cancellation Letter</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT id=role_document face=Georgia color=#000000 size=3>
<DIV>Dear Nathan Alford,<BR><BR>When I opened the D.N. this morning and saw
(once again) an op ed <BR>piece written by Ed Iverson, New St. Andrews
College librarian, I realized that it was time to cancel my subscription
to your newspaper. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I appreciate the journalistic obligation of the Daily News to include
conservative perspectives on local, national and international
issues. Latah County is fortunate to have a number of
intelligent, well-informed conservatives who could ably fill this role;
residents with substantial knowledge of the region, long,
well-documented records of community service, and proven literary
skills. Sadly, you have deliberately overlooked many
eminently suitable candidates in order to provide a public platform
for a know-nothing newcomer who hectors, lectures, and attempts
to proselytize on behalf of Douglas J. Wilson. The
selection of Ed Iverson as a regular columnist demonstrates a critical
lapse of judgment on your part and a profound failure of imagination
and sensitivity to local issues on the part of your editorial
staff. It is apparent that the DN editors do not
serve you, or your newspaper well, Nathan. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A newspaper and its editorial board need not endorse or even
embrace</DIV>
<DIV>a liberal, progressive agenda to please me. However, I do
expect that at least a half-hearted, semi-professional attempt
will be made to provide balance on the editorial page. It baffles and
repulses me that you have chosen (for what ever
reason) to employ a devotee of Doug Wilson as a
regular columnist. What in the world, or, perhaps I should ask who in
the world, persuaded you that Ed Iverson was an appropriate or
worthy choice? </DIV>
<DIV><BR>Fortunately, your father has not completely capitulated to the
charmless persuasion of Doug Wilson, Roy Atwood, much less Ed
Iverson. Subsequently, I will rely on the Lewiston Tribune
for Moscow news. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>
<DIV>Rose Huskey<BR><BR></DIV>
