Doing It

Lady bugs are doing very unladylike things. This jewel-like copulation takes place in a small tree. Out on a smooth, green limb, red, glistening bodies, casual soulmates, unhurried by time; the observer loses interest before they do. Spring is mainly the lovemaking act. And while you would not know this, listening to our selected leaders, take a walk and find a yellow butterfly to follow — up with your eye, into canopy and clouds. Find something in nature to follow instead. Snapping turtles are doing it, too. Mud-animated, these animals are unmolested in Sagg Pond — I mean, no one ... by Marilee Foster

Positive Actions

Denunciation by recitation would not stand up in court, nor should it in the court of public opinion. Without the strengths of context, evidence or sources, Carol Scott’s Letter to the Editor [“Bad for Southampton,” Letters, April 24] unfairly maligns Gordon Herr and, indirectly, the elected officials he has supported over the years. This prime example of poor opinion-shaping requires a response. Higher taxes: Reports from various local news sources inform that pension and health costs challenge public budgets in all five East End towns.
