Your article on Nelson Rockefeller [Oct. 6] prompts this letter. When I was a little girl in Cleveland, my mother was calling on Grandpa John D.'s neighbor and, over the back fence, told John D. that my birthday was the same day as his, July 8. With no hesitation, he reached in his pocket and handed my mother the enclosed dime. I now want to return it to Grandson Nelson for his campaign fund, and wish him luck and success...

During an undistinguished first term, Billy O'Neill demonstrated nothing so much as a knack for ruffling the feathers of party roosters, e.g., by trying-vainly-to kick out influential Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) Chairman A. L. De Maioribus, and by failing to mention anyone else on the state party ticket in his primary campaign opener last spring. O'Neill's last-minute endorsement of the right-to-work amendment on the ballot this fall has put him squarely in the sights...
