THE EDITOR, Sir:I AM very pleased with the revelation that police sergeant, Russell Robinson was slapped with more than 18 charges for his involvement in the trade of weapons and ammunition from the police armoury.
THE EDITOR, Sir:IF YOUR reporters are accurate in their reporting of teacher-pupil ratio guidelines set by the Ministry of Education, we have come upon yet another reason why most of our children are not achieving.
THE EDITOR, Sir:A FEW days ago, some guys who were just a couple of houses away from where I live here in Kingston were arrested for 'indecent exposure'.
THE EDITOR, Sir: THE ONGOING furore over the plight of Tiger Woods, the quintessential golfer, has impelled me to reflect upon the eagerness of many people to condemn others....
THE EDITOR, Sir: I am calling on all Jamaicans to rally behind the Jamaican Airline Pilots' Association (JALPA) and staff who are trying to buy out Air Jamaica.
THE EDITOR, Sir:After Air Jamaica's pilots and staff announced they would continue their fight for Jamaica's national carrier, I became concerned that it might not necessarily be for the right reason....

THE EDITOR, Sir: IN LIGHT of the troubled divestment of Air Jamaica by the Government, there is one thing that is clear: the administration will lose the next election because of Air Jamaica.
I AM a firm supporter of the attempts at privatisation of Air Jamaica by the Government. I am also most certainly not opposed to the ownership of the airline by Trinidadians and Caribbean Airlines. In fact, being someone schooled in the Caribbean and a graduate of the University of the West Indies, I am a strong proponent of regional integration. What I am, however, opposed to is regional integration that lacks true regional participation and accrual of benefits

The Editor, Sir: CONTRIBUTORS EARLMONT Williams, in his article in your paper on Thursday, January 18, and Garth Rattray in an earlier column dealing with the same topic, demonstrate precisely what is fundamentally wrong with religious belief.
THE EDITOR, Sir: WHILE READING Peter Espeut's Friday, February 19 column in which he teaches, taking to task a local Jamaican pastor and letter writer for misunderstanding the nature of the current, religious season (Lent), what he believes to be, as he writes, "the right track about general Christian practice", I was inspired to respond with a question.
THE EDITOR, Sir:I THINK it would be a most befitting and beneficial tribute and symbol to the life and works of the late Prof Rex Nettleford if a museum in his honour were established by the University of the West Indies (UWI).
If indeed 'water is life' then the NWC is responsible for depriving thousands of Jamaicans of their 'life'. To make a bad situation worse, the NWC is NOT living up to its end of the bargain in relation to the 'lifeline' which they have thrown to their 'valued' customers.
