The Editor, Sir: The prime minister made a fundamental point during the recent debate in Parliament over the Jamaica Debt Exchange (JDX) bond offer. He said that the Jamaican economy has made respectable...
The Editor, Sir:All of us, even the most hard-hearted, have been moved by the plight and the pictures documenting the calamity that has fallen on our brothers and sisters so close to us. It has been understandingly frightening because of the random and severe...
The Editor, Sir: I read with happiness the lead article in the Financial Gleaner of Friday, January 29, where the Bank of Nova Scotia had lent some J$1.8 billion to GraceKennedy at the amazingly low interest rate of 13.5 per cent.
The Editor, Sir: Obviously, the music industry has become the dumping ground for academically unsuccessful youths. It is no wonder the lyrical contents of our music have degenerated into a cesspool.

The Editor, Sir: I am very disappointed with the Church in Jamaica in not publicly distancing itself from, and explaining correctly, the recent brainless comments made by founder and host of the 700 Club - Pat Robertson, on one of his televised programmes.
The Editor, Sir: The recent disclosure that, as one of the pre-conditions for an agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) the Government intends to hike bus fares by a whopping 40 per cent effective April 1 of this year, should be of grave concern to every well-thinking Jamaican.
The Editor, Sir: In reference to the article, 'Nonsense prophetic mutterings', of January 5, once again Kadene Porter has seen it necessary to attack the prophetic utterances of the Lord. I have often said that the main fact that the world is in this state is an indication that people don't study their Bible.
The Editor, Sir: The patriotic spirit of Jamaicans is, without question, very strong, especially as it relates to being angry about the sale of our beloved airline. For many of us, it was the highlight of our first trip overseas, and the memory of having the headset blazing reggae music while cruising at 30,000 feet...

The Editor, Sir: Crime, it seems, will always be a thorn in our nation's side, and a major issue for any political party in power. Part of the problem, I think, which fuels and facilitate it is our authorities seemingly lack ...
The Editor, Sir:We must never play politics with the interest of the poor. I say this against the background of the Government managing to secure agreement with key players in the financial sector in terms of debt management.
The Editor, Sir:The commercial banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions have once again duped the Government and people of Jamaica. The Opposition People's National Party (PNP)...

The Editor, Sir: I am scarcely bedazzled by R. Howard Thompson's attempt in this publication on January 26, to revive Ruel Reid's piece of Sunday last. Call it proof or call it evidence...
