Smart aleck

The question Aug. 9: A newly designed $20 bill, to be in circulation next month, still features Andrew Jackson on the front. If more money is revamped, whom would you like to see pictured?

Alan Greenspan. Who has been a better friend to U.S. dollars?

Peggy Rothring

Thousand Oaks

*

My suggestion: Eleanor Roosevelt. Her contributions to society were far-reaching and inspiring.

J. Carole Atkin

Long Beach

*

Frederick Douglass, a great American who rose from slavery to become the most eloquent orator for abolition.

Jeffrey L. Crooms

Los Angeles

*

Now that Kenneth Starr and the media have assured me that all presidents are of no greater significance than me, we should dump all our monetary designs, replace them with Queen Elizabeth II and ask the Brits to take us back.

James Swanson

Whittier

*

My first choice would be the great Cherokee scholar Sequoyah. Second choice: Mark Twain.

Shelley Martin

San Pedro

*

Bills with pictures of Cindy Crawford should make men want to save their money.

Grace E. Hampton

Burbank

*

No more politicians. How about real people, like George Gershwin, Margaret Mitchell, D.W. Griffith, Scott Joplin and Edward R. Murrow?

Doris and Jerry Selmer

Arcadia

*

Almost anyone of the female gender. A poet would be nice--how about Audre Lorde?

Mary Lawrence

Long Beach

*

Magic Johnson. He accomplished a lot. Everyone likes him.
