REMEMBER ELAINE NUTT? She's the 74-year-old lady who, when ticketed last spring for walking on AA railroad tracks, made the issue a public one. She originally planned to fight the misdemeanor charge but since "I couldn't have a heart attack over this,'' she pled guilty to reach "closure." "I hated to cave in, but the stress on my body was more than I could deal with."
In yesterday's News Letters section, Ms. Nutt protests a plan to move a police station next to the downtown library as "almost as depressing as what happened in Nazi Germany," a comment that angered another reader.
With deference to Ms. Nutt as my elder, Y. reflects that in the unfortunate event Ms. Nutt were burglarized, mugged, or attacked, hard-working local police officers would do their best to help her as fast as possible.

One useful shibboleth with which to gauge if someone is a fool is "closure."

Looks as though the library is not happy about the plan either, calling the proposed building a "dead zone" (as opposed to the liveliness of a parking lot).
