Berkeley’s Sept. 11 won’t be forgotten

To the Editor: 

 

Congratulations on an impressive Sept. 11 front page.  For a fleeting moment, just quickly scanning the headlines, I thought I was back in the Berkeley I once knew, the Berkeley that existed before the Sixties ruined it: patriotic (God bless our firemen and the flag), decent and moral (cracking down on massage parlors), and respectful of the law (O’Donnell goes to prison). Then I read on.  Oh well.  It was nice to imagine that my old hometown was back again, just for a minute or two.  Maybe some day…
