The blight which I refer to is the lack of communication between the people of Detroit as a result of our inadequate news media. The result has been an uninformed, robotic society. You have brought a truly free press to this metropolis, something we have been in need of for many years. I now anticipate the public will be able to read the truth and not a twisting and deletion of the truth. I particularly like the fact that you plan to present new and not so new ideas which ordinarily would not be presented in any other media, particularly the Vietnam issue. I feel that all people, through The Fifth Estate, will be able to express their beliefs; something which we need so badly in order to preserve the democratic society we speak so much about. Much good luck to you, Eric Feld Detroit, Michigan
