My response, Harry Mainzer, to your argument that Pete Hegseth is unqualified for nomination and confirmation as secretary of defense is: Let the process play out [“Kakistocracy,” Letters, December 19]. My disagreement with you is primarily with the faceless, anonymous sources that have been used to contaminate the fairness of this nomination. For Donald Trump supporters, it is all too reminiscent of the innuendo, lies and outright subterfuge of the initial Trump presidency by a Democratic Party and its complicit media, which abandoned its journalistic responsibilities to amplify doubt and falsehoods. It is clear that you don’t see it from ...

It isn’t the first potato truck I learned to drive, but it’s the same kind, a retrofitted army truck, rugged and simple in accord with its unstoppable American design. When the engine cranks and comes to life — as it has for 50 years, and will for 50 more — patriotic old men, many of them farmers, know to thank Detroit. But we’ve sold her. We’re thinning the fleet. A farm in Vermont wants this one. Almost all of our harvest trucks have a military surplus pedigree. With this pedigree comes a year. One of the oldest trucks, one we ...

The Sag Harbor Historical Museum was awarded a $10,000 grant to restore headstones in Sag Harbor’s Old Burying Ground on Union Street. The grant was from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation, which supports projects that highlight New York history. The group of headstones to be repaired were severely damaged in the Hurricane of 1938 and have remained broken in multiple pieces and partially buried in the ground since that time. The headstones are a valuable part of Sag Harbor history, telling a story reaching back to the Revolutionary War. Capt. Lester BeeBee, the patriarch of the BeeBee family was ...
