Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
The members of my family for over three generations have read The Chicago Tribune daily with great affection and pride, because we feel it is a paper of integrity and honest reporting.
I must, however, question the ethnic connotation about the Italian American people in your article of Jan. 22.
Appearing in Section 2, ”About the town,” by Barbara Brotman, I quote:
”She knows they were mob figures because her boyfriend, who is of Italian descent, said he thought they were.”
Are we to understand by this statement that because a person is of
”Italian descent” he is an expert on mob activities and mobsters? In my opinion, absolutely not!
Such a blatant reference is an outright insult to any American, regardless of ancestry.
