To the Editor:

Thank you for the article by David Steinmetz entitled “The Media and Me.” While a student of his in the ’70s, I found on one of my papers: “Allred, you use the English language very well. It’s too bad you have nothing to say.”

He is obviously a perceptive reader as well as an outstanding communicator. I’m sure his comments to the media have been pithy.
