To the Editor:

I make a big effort to avoid watching the political ads on TV, as so many of them are screaming, theatrical performances with lots of lies. (My father, a longtime Republican mayor, taught me not to lie and is surely rolling over in his grave now.) Hardly any real facts … which is redundant, so I’ll say “hardly any facts” – if it’s not a fact, it’s not real.
