Letters: Cartoon about John Glenn’s return to space in bad taste

Thursday, Jan. 29, 1998 | 11:06 a.m.

I also take issue with the Jan. 21 editorial by "Name Withheld" regarding John Glenn's skills. The writer says that Glenn never had any special skills for space flight, and that they should "cut him loose" on a space walk. The readers of this remark would hope that the writer could replace the robot on the next mission to Mars. Then the writer withholds his name out of cowardice. The editor should have a policy about not accepting letters unless the writer has enough integrity to attach his name.
