To The Editor: Re “Musical Mezuzah Gate, or The Orrin Hatchberg Story” (talking point, Daniel Meltzer, Dec. 23): Thanks, Daniel Meltzer, for a wonderful piece! I actually heard the terrible song sent to me by someone who is pitifully naive. It is truly the dumbest knockoff song of the dumbest song in the Yiddish repertoire (“Dreidl, Dreidl, [...]

To The Editor: Re “Musical Mezuzah Gate, or The Orrin Hatchberg Story” (talking point, Daniel Meltzer, Dec. 23): If you really want a laugh, here it is. He even pulls out his mezuzah. Obviously, some of Hatch’s best friends are Jewish. Check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XND3Naa6N5o Fran Stern

To The Editor: Re “Silent night and Frank won’t be calling this year” (notebook, by Alphie McCourt, Dec. 23): Alphie McCourt is a wonderful writer himself. He writes with the same ease as Brendan Behan. And I hope he keeps on writing for us. Pat Fenton

To The Editor: Re “Silent night and Frank won’t be calling this year” (notebook, by Alphie McCourt, Dec. 23): Alphie McCourt reminds me of what good writing really is — personal, vulnerable sometimes, ringing with truth. I loved this line: “It would take me many years to realize that the ideal, or the idealized Christmas, is all [...]

To The Editor: Commenting on Lincoln Anderson’s piece “Art squat reviews its history, finds more in backyard” in The Villager’s Dec. 16 issue, Lincoln should have credited the backyard excavation installation as being a collaboration project with Austin Shull. He also forgot to mention that Austin Shull is directing the video documentation. I realize journalists have to [...]

To The Editor: Re “Nature is its own art” (letter, by Sharon Woolums, Dec. 23): I read Sharon Woolums’s letter concerning art in the parks with some astonishment. I understand where Ms. Woolums is coming from, but I wonder if she has any idea where she is headed. If we accept Ms. Woolums’s thesis that art in the [...]

To The Editor: Re “Nature is its own art” (letter, by Sharon Woolums, Dec. 23): Sharon Woolums verbalizes so well what many of us have been thinking during the back-and-forth issue of selling art on the High Line. While I am in favor of amendment rights, and artists being free to sell their artwork, I do [...]

To The Editor: Re “Nature is its own art” (letter, by Sharon Woolums, Dec. 23): I share Sharon Woolums’s appreciation of nature and her sentiment that New York City parks should be places of calm. Unfortunately, the Parks Department has a different viewpoint. It is the Parks Department, not street artists, that is at the forefront of [...]

To The Editor: Re “Senior’s hip to climb Everest, after getting hip replacement” (news article, Dec. 23): Yes, I admire 64-year-old Donald Healy’s determination, energy and success in climbing peaks like Denali and Kilimanjaro! I’m not sure, though, that he fully appreciates distinctions which make Mt. Everest a more dangerous climb. It’s not just the greater [...]

To The Editor: Re “Liquor lashing” (Scoopy’s Notebook, Dec. 16): Community Board 3 District Manager Susan Stetzer’s depiction of the State Liquor Authority as unresponsive in Scoopy’s Notebook is unwarranted in light of the facts. S.L.A. Chairman Dennis Rosen and agency staff spend a great deal of time working with community boards, community groups and elected officials, [...]
