Dear Editor,
Having read the comments in a letter to your newspaper dated Saturday February 18 (‘Too big an increase in bread price’), we would like to first thank our patrons, and in particular Ms J Braithwaite, for their support over the years. Over
Dear Editor,
I wish to respond quickly to a letter by Mr Imtiaz Baccus that appeared in your publication of Monday February 20 captioned ‘Why did NCN in Berbice not show cricket?’

Dear Editor,
In all my years of sitting on boards and committees in the private sector and local government in the United Kingdom with responsibility for spending millions of pounds sterling, I have never heard such nonsense coming from a Finance Minister.
Since the visit of President Richard Nixon and his then National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger to Beijing in February 1972 and the subsequent re-establishment of diplomatic relations between the Peoples Republic of China and the United States, both sides have seemed careful not to act in any manner that would lead to the possibility of a breach in those relations and the extensive network of economic ties that they have established over the years.

Dear Editor,
I had thought that, with my (third) letter in the Sunday Stabroek of February 19, 2012, I had drawn attention to most of the major infelicities that I had noticed in the original TSC Vacancy Notice, 2012, and its (correcting) Addendum that had been published in Stabroek News of Wednesday, February 15, 2012.
Dear Editor,
A writer comes to Guyana. He does not stray far from the country’s underbelly and he writes a book about the characters and situations he encounters there.
Dear Editor,
Just about two years ago the music world lost an icon in the form of Michael Jackson, and recently another one, Whitney Houston, has “Gone Too Soon.”
