NBC Tries the Bitter Taste of Leak Soup

A comment about your articles on the disclosure of Bryant Gumbel’s private memo criticizing his NBC colleagues:

Since I retired, I’ve watched NBC’s “Today,” which makes oldsters feel a bit important by showing photos of some who have lived past 90 or 100. Bless Willard Scott’s heart--he’s sure to say of a picture, “Isn’t she beautiful?” But, I have noticed, the rude Bryant Gumbel has a sneer on his face throughout this.

We oldsters should be fussed over: We have retirement salaries to spend and plenty of time to shop.
