Howie used to print some of his mail in his column; once in awhile he'd print one by a woman named Cindy Lass who used to always open with something like "Dear Hitler, I hope you die" or words to that effect. She does exist: I work at the post office and saw a Herald subscription bill going out to her, so Howie wasn't making (her name, at
least) up.
