Art loss and ballot ruckus spark editorials and notices
A New York man reports $75,000 in art lost in a residence fire and mentions costs tied to mortgage taxes. Letters discuss New Haven ballots printed on black paper with white text versus white paper. Various items follow including cheeky anecdotes, royal baby notes, and wildlife tall tales from Georgia and Indiana.
