Today’s NEW YORK DAILY NEWS has interesting letter from a reader named Arye Barkat of the Bronx, wondering how Melba matured from hillbilly to “attractive,sophisticated woman”.
Melba began as a cleaning woman at City Hall. Pert,the town’s elderly and wealthy “Scrooge Miser”,had coveted the Mayorship for decades. But people kept electing candidates who were “nicer than Pert”(which was just about everybody).
Melba eventually won t he Mayorship, the voters figuring her job at City hall made her qualified to run it.
Why would anybody in their right mind go, at 4:00 A.M., to look at a tree that had fallen, unless it did damage to the house? And if he sees that poorly in the dark, what is the point?
