A terror attack killing at least eight Israelis in Bulgaria appears on page 10 of section A. But everyone knows that when Israel retaliates, it will appear on Page 1. Are you uninterested in terror attacks against Israelis because it is so ho-hum? If any other nationality had been attacked, it would have been on page 1 but Israelis being slaughtered again on European soil is just not news.

As Florida State University’s class of 2013 graduates are awarded their hard-earned diplomas, it’s a good time to reflect on the accomplishments of the academic year. To sum it up, we have had a very good year.
Re the May 18 article Japanese sisters take gold in Dranoff 2-piano finals: Whenever I hear of the Dranoff Piano Competition I remember my own experience with Loretta Dranoff. She was a visiting music teacher who would come twice a week to conduct classes at Hibiscus Elementary in North Dade.
Re the May 21 article Cutoff would leave many without legal status: How horrible we all should feel in contributing to the low morale of illegal immigrants. Had these criminals known of the impending cutoff date for amnesty I feel sure they would have committed their illegal act earlier. Shame on us!
