L E T T E R SDear Editor,
Last month you featured an article on John McCain and his excellent oratory skills. I disagree with the article completely. Two nights ago I saw an interview on David Letterman with McCain, and he was awkward and unprofessional. I suggest you cover politicians with some real speaking skills in your next feature article!
Sincerely,
Joe Smith – San Jose, CA
