Larry David and Bill Maher

About Larry David's Satire

To the Editor:

Larry David’s brief article about his imagined dinner with a “so human” Adolf Hitler spoke volumes about Bill Maher’s summation of his actual dinner with Donald Trump.

While I really enjoy Mr. Maher’s program in general, in his relating his experience of his dinner with Mr. Trump, he neglected to point out that anyone has the ability to act gracious during a brief social engagement, but it is a person’s actions on a day-to-day basis that reveal the true nature of the man.

What I Want

To the Editor:

I don’t want Canada or Greenland or the Panama Canal.

I want PBS, Social Security, NPR, Medicare, the Kennedy Center and the Smithsonian.

I want democracy.
