Two comments on the tariffs essay in the April 3  issue…

“I can’t believe you were trying to defend Trump’s tariffs. The guys a maniac. He’s going to destroy the world.” – PG

“Your point about Trump using tariffs for geopolitical reasons is a good one. It’s worked so far. It will be interesting to see if it continues to work – if he can pull it off without causing the inflation his critics are predicting.” – NSP

On my review of A Man for All Seasons in the April 15  issue…

“I was glad to see your review of A Man for All Seasons. It’s always been one of my favorite films, but when I recommend it, people seem uninterested because it is so old.” – SL

My Response: I’m not surprised. But for me, I find myself preferring to watch something that is decades old, even if I’ve seen it before, rather than taking a chance on something new.
