I would like to refer to I.M. Beck's column of November 2.

In giving vent to his well known political inclinations, I.M. Beck thought it fit to stoop so low in his writings as to refer three times to "Ground 0" in New York - the tomb of so many hundreds of innocent victims and unsung heroes - as "a hole in the ground".

It so happens that on this day, we commemorate our dear departed and we have many other holes to look at, particularly during the month of November.

I only hope that, if I.M. Beck cares to visit any of these, he will do it with a different frame of mind and with greater respect, and avoid insulting readers who, fortunately, still show reverence to the graves of their relatives and friends.
