Opinion | DeSantis Drops Out, While Haley Is Still In
  + stars: | 2024-01-22 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
To the Editor:Re “DeSantis Decides to End Campaign for White House” (front page, Jan. 22):When I saw the news that Ron DeSantis was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsing Donald Trump, I felt a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Not that I’m a fan of Mr. DeSantis; hardly, I’m not even a Republican. But, for the sake of our democracy, a part of me had hoped that Mr. DeSantis or Nikki Haley, or the two of them together, might have waged a distinct and spirited enough campaign to overcome the angry, populist, cultlike sway that Mr. Trump holds over G.O.P. Watching all of this unfold is proving to be a grotesque and terrifying portrait of human behavior. Cody LyonBrooklynTo the Editor:As Ron DeSantis fades from the national scene after running one of the most incompetent presidential campaigns in memory, we should remember some of the damage he inflicted on his home state, Florida, to gain national attention.

Opinion | The Killing of a Homeless Man on the Subway
  + stars: | 2023-05-05 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
To the Editor:Re “Subway Killing Both Stuns City and Divides It” (front page, May 5):Politicians and ordinary New Yorkers are pouncing on a debate as to whether or not a subway passenger who put Jordan Neely, a distressed, screaming homeless man, into a chokehold, killing him, should face legal repercussions. Meanwhile, they continue to sit on their hands and not make meaningful investments in solutions that might fundamentally address the city’s crisis of mental illness and homelessness. Jordan Neely is forcing us to ponder that in many ways, we all share some responsibility in his tragic death. In fact, I have always considered that, though our city has its share of bigotry, New Yorkers come together to help each other. Now, in the wake of subway passengers harming and killing another passenger, a homeless man, I am at a loss.
