Editor:
You’re probably used to letters complaining about your editorials. This is a letter of praise. Whoever is handling the editorial page deserves a raise. Quality is way up.
I held my breath when I began to read the editorials on the Arab-Israeli conflict and abortion, but was pleasantly surprised by the end of each. Both were well thought-out and possessed a measure of nuance that deserves recognition.
The point is not whether I agreed with them. The point is that I had the pleasure of listening to someone think, as opposed to rehearse, and that was a pleasure. Good job.
