Standifer was crazy -- he thought there was a pro-commie angle to a photo collage the Star ran about children in Cuba, where one of the pix showed a Cuban girl smiling and eating ice cream. "As any freedom-loving American knows," wrote Standifer, "children in Cuba do not smile, and they certainly don't get ice cream, unless they turn their parents over to the Communist Party for re-education." And Standifer's letters were always the first ones on the page. They ran maybe 5 or 6, till I got bored and retired him. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>DP</DIV> <DIV><FONT lang=0 size=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF"><FONT size=2></FONT><BR><BR><BR> </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
