With the unlamented departure of John Barnes, former editorial page editor, I had hopes of doing away with the current crop of columnists. Pat Buchanan and Cal Thomas are particularly offensive. Show, Feder and others of their ilk have nothing to say in which I am interested.
I like Royko, Cohen, Goodman, Page, Raspberry. How about a mixture? The page is a disaster, and I've been reading the paper long enough to be taken seriously.
