New Rochelle, N.Y.: There were two reasons to mourn a heroic death on Good Friday, that sad yet triumphant day Christians noted the death on the cross of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We lost another great Jew, a heroic resident of New York who dedicated his days on Earth to the exposure, capture and bringing to justice of those who would exterminate, marginalize or punish his fellow Jews.
Levittown, L.I.: Re Mark Ustin’s “The return of public health law” (op-ed, Feb. 3): We have lost more American lives to COVID-19 than we did to the Civil War and World War II combined. I look with great disquiet towards the prospect of some future pandemic.
Bronx: Once again, the Office of Labor Relations and the Municipal Labor Committee, chaired by Harry Nespoli, are attempting another tactic to force NYC retirees into an unwanted, questionable Medicare Advantage Plan.
Glenn Heights, Texas: The homeless problem has been around for a long time and it seems that there isn’t enough being done to slow the increase of people living on the streets. Shelters seem to be overpopulated. Years ago, when you saw a homeless person on the street, they were usually elderly. Now there are kids and young adults among them.
