Liz Smith on the Last Bastion of Culture

Liz Smith
What I like best about NPR is the width and breadth of their excellent coverage which, unlike the newspapers mentioned earlier, is being subsidized by the government. I always learn something when I turn to NPR and, generally, it is not tainted by politics, partisanship, publicity or advertising. I feel like it’s almost holy writ.

And NPR seems to me to be a last bastion of culture. Maybe I’m naïve.

Naive?  I think not, Liz Smith.  You have the wisdom of the worldly wise which allows you to appreciate each experience as though for the first time.  You are also the only columnist for whom I require a handy dictionary.  Memory fails me on the last word you pulled on me, but it must have meant stripper as it referred to Gypsy Rose Lee.  I am working on the Hollywood star.

Peace and grace
