An Ancient Battle

Aesop was my first author. I was 6 when I received a beautifully illustrated anthology — I read it forward and back. The mainly cautionary and instructive anecdotes anthropomorphized animals and elements and struck a chord with my world view. The fox, the crow, the goat and, of course, the boy who cried wolf were tangible compatriots. I shared in their flaws and learned from their lessons. It would be mid-March, late morning, when the North Wind challenged the Sun to a duel. Presumably, they are both bored — up there on a clear spring day with not even a ... by Staff Writer

It's the Wild Wild West, or East, in Suffolk County Right Now, With Athletes Benefiting in Court

Straining Credulity

In his latest letter to The Press, reader Ed Surgan praises the work of Elon Musk in his efforts to root out government inefficiency [“It Stinks,” Letters, February 27]. First, I would like to say that believing that billionaire Musk is working to help working-class Americans exhibits an astounding level of gullibility. Here are some observations on Musk’s work. Many of his proposed cuts are meant to benefit him and his companies. Many of the agencies that he has attacked were actively investigating his companies for fraud and unsafe practices. A contract with Verizon that he canceled was replaced by ... by Staff Writer
