Helping the people of Haiti

Madam, – Suffering has visited Haiti once again. It is an unwelcome visitor that the people there have met only too often. The Haitians deserve every assistance that they receive. With this in mind, I would like to compliment your Washington Correspondent, Lara Marlowe, on her responsible reporting.

It brings home to readers the sheer scale of the catastrophe and yet touches on the personal tragedy inflicted on the individual inhabitant. I would consider her articles, and in particular that of January 28th, with its accompanying photo, to be of the higher order of journalism. It helps return that profession to its rightful noble place. – Yours, etc,
