LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Fields op-ed spot-on

OPINION:

I am an avid reader of op-eds and editorials, especially those found in the Drudge Report and The Wall Street Journal. Recently I read Suzanne Fields’ op-ed drawing parallels between today’s circus and the Arthur Miller play “The Crucible” (“Kavanaugh in the crucible,” Web, Oct. 3). It was one of the finest and most perceptive writings I have read in a long time. I congratulate Suzanne Fields on her excellent writing. In a sense, the mob thinking that was the theme of “The Crucible” has invaded American university and college campuses as well. Mob thinking wasn’t present when I attended college half a century ago.
