RUTH TRUTH

Each week I read scathing attacks on Ruth Reichl and, quite frankly, it looks as though some people just want to have their letters printed (Calendar Letters, Jan. 4).

Reichl is bright, colorful, different and, on behalf of all my friends and myself, I would like to thank her for introducing us to Rockenwagner. (By the way, I am interested to know that she is not married to some boring yuppie who loves restaurant hopping with her.)
