Letter — Dear City of St. Louis

May 1980

Historical May 1980 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

Dear City of St. Louis, I cannot adequately express how comforting it is to me to know that someone down there not only can read but also actually can write. I have carefully read your open letter to me hoping to find a point of common agreement. I understand that this is how a more positive relationship can be started. Your reference to O.J. Anderson kicking field goals seems to have some merit. Perhaps you should work for Mr. Bidwell. His attitude toward the players seems to parallel yours toward the taxpayers. I am not familiar with this Bo Derek fellow you mention. I am willing to consider your reference to him as another area of detante but I must warn you that if he is one of your co-workers I can do little to overcome my prejudice that he is probably nothing more than a perfect boob.

Sincerely, Ken Cohen
