Armed with the full details, it's hard to conclude that the Lincoln Park soccer stadium will be a good deal for the people of Chicago, with or without Latin School ["Latin's park perk might well serve the public," May 7]. That may be the Park District's mantra, but it rings false.

My heart goes out to the families of the tens of thousands of people who were killed by the cyclone that hit Myanmar. As is usually the case when a natural disaster threatens a humanitarian catastrophe, America is among the first in line to offer its goods and services, free of charge, to the afflicted people. Are you listening, Rev. Jeremiah Wright? God Bless America!
Mary Mitchell's penetrating May 4 column ["Both hurt when Obama turns his back on Wright"] reveals Rev. Wright as a person who tells it like he sees it. And, after knowing Sen.

Our state is in total chaos, from the roads we are supposed to drive on to the schools that are not teaching our children.
