Speaking Out! Your Opinion Counts!

About the Book

This is a collection of Letters to the Editor, and other essays, written passionately and with conviction, over a period of forty years.

Meyer Rangell takes the freedom of the press seriously and personally , and uses our precious press freedom to express opinions on the important issues of the day, including nuclear war, international relations, the United Nations, our health care system, racism, ,religion, poverty and disease in the modern world, drug abuse, violence, crime, and anything else that comes to his inquiring mind. A free press, he maintains, properly utilized by involved citizens, should contribute to that elusive "public opinion" which shapes the nature of our democratic society.
