And so, the reader of this blog will remember that Newsday went into the jail with me. I am so impressed with the piece that was written by Joye Brown, it is nuanced, balanced, and honest. It’s found on page 16 of today’s newspaper, Sunday, the 1oth. Here is a link to the page:

Article</a>
It’s so interesting to see the comments left on Newsday’s webpage . There are some wonderful, encouraging things written. As is to be expected, there is some criticism. I’m looking forward to the dialogue with all of these readers.
