Salient News....

Dear Sir,

Drawing of men fighting in front of ancient columns

Looking through last year's Salients I could not help being impressed with your consistent support of causes shunned or suppressed by the papers. Issues such as Zimbabwe, facts of the Vietnam peace settlement, TPA, Gay Lib, and Vorster's Reich, not to mention your unique (I liked it) Court Reports, need to be published.

Even your ideology makes some sense after churning through a constant stream of pedantic commentaries in 30 consecutive Salients (all in one sitting, phew). Like, it takes a while for that stuff to get through the pre-conceived notions gained from an unquestioning intake of my hometown's "Daily News" for the last 15 years.

I am dismayed at the attitude you show towards religious groups on campus. Why? I'd certainly like to know your reasons for this.

What are they to you?

Thank you for publishing news I want to hear about.

Yours,

J Stevens.
