More JFK files were released. I thought we’d get more about Marilyn. Maybe we’ll find something that will let us know about when LBJ was being sworn in as the 36th president after the assassination — this was when he stood next to Jackie, who was still in a dress with her husband’s blood on it — the iconic photo shows Johnson turning toward lifelong friend and Congressman Albert Thomas while smiling. Thomas gives a smirk and a wink.
Happy holidays. Still here.

A Different TimeI found Thomas Jones’s letter [“Lucky To Have LaLota,” Letters, September 4] very disturbing. He praises Congressman Nick LaLota without examples of accomplishments. He excuses LaLota for no town halls. Constituents cannot ask questions or voice concerns. I remember Congressman...
SerendipityWhile paused in August traffic on the bridge into Sag Harbor, a movement and flash of gray caught my eye from the passenger seat. A few seconds later, I was rewarded by the unusual site of a dolphin swimming in...
Wasteful WaysThank you for your investigation of the shocking levels of water use by the ultra-wealthy [“Estates Drain Millions of Gallons of Water Each Year,” Residence, August 28]. I can do the right thing by not watering my dinky patch of...
Angel WingsSeptember 11, 2002 So many hearts. So many hearts. In every corner of the city of my youth they wait They wait for those that will not come again For those whose lives were intertwined with theirs And by whose...
