There is no e-mail address here to contact the paper's editorial board directly, and I just want to share a letter I wrote to one of your writers. This wasn't intended as a letter for publication as a LTTE, just praise for one of your writers:Dear Mr. Herzfeld,

Thank you, exceedingly, for writing your superb piece on left-handedness. I commend you not only for your chosen subject, but also for your excellent writing style. I expect to read future Herzfeld articles in the Boston Globe or the New York Times.

I am not left-handed, but I do have a "sinister" sister, who has never talked too much about the experience, but, no doubt, has suffered through some of the issues you mentioned in your analysis. She is reading this article this morning; I just e-mailed it to her.

You are to be commended for shedding light on the plight of a minority group whose struggle has probably slipped through the cracks of compassion even on your enlightened campus.
