Author Ken Weiss and I share at least one thing in common - we were both editorial page editors. It was there that letters to the editor did more than just fill space. They frequently packed both wisdom and punch. Now Weiss has resurrected some of the best letters of the past, and they remarkably are as relevant today as the day they were written. It's a great read.
About the Author
Kenneth N. Weiss most recently served as a content editor for the Baltimore Sun Media Group. Previously, he held editorial oversight for the Opinion pages in three distinct publications, including The Washington Post Company's now-defunct Gazette of Politics and Business. In addition, he works as a part-time copy editor for the African Institute for Development Policy, contributing to a project that evaluates democracy indicators in African countries.
Earlier in his career, Weiss was a researcher for the film "The War at Home" which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Feature-Length Documentary in 1979. Over a span of ten years, he instructed an introductory news writing course, initially at Towson University and later at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
