Ronald Radosh is wrong to say I’m trying to “make public” the names of FBI informants, or the names of anyone else (“Naming Names,” PostOpinion, April 26).

The aim of the lawsuit is to enable factual research into the files and further open a window on a troubled period in 20th century US history.

Contrary to Radosh, the number of teachers who lost their jobs due to the investigations in the 1950s was probably between 300 and 500. The 1,100 number he uses refers to the approximate number called in for interrogation sessions.

Many resigned rather than go in, as my father did, but my mother kept her job despite refusing to name people she’d known in the Communist Party.

Many teachers who refused to provide names were fired after being questioned by the city’s investigators, and others were dismissed for exercising their Fifth Amendment rights.

It is more complicated than Radosh acknowledges.

Caring for Granny

The demonstration projects under the Affordable Care Act being proposed in New York and other states can provide coordinated, quality and cost-effective care to low-income seniors and people with disabilities eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, the so-called dual-eligibles (“Toss Gran in an HMO,” Scott Gottlieb, Post-Opinion, April 26).

These projects can integrate all Medicare and Medicaid health benefits, long-term care and behavioral-health services — and, in so doing, lower costs and increase access for this vulnerable population.

States can pursue integration through new capitated-managed care plans, fee-for-service case management and other arrangements. In proposals, dual-eligibles will still have the option to choose other plans, such as the government-run original Medicare program or private Medicare Advantage plans.

JFK & the Mob

LBJ was JFK’s VP, but RFK was the president’s brother and attorney general. The two constantly jockeyed for power, and, in the end, LBJ prevailed (“The Perils of Being LBJ,” PostScript, George F. Will, April 29).

Joe Kennedy had a stroke and was unable to instruct RFK to back off from his public pursuit of Skinny D’Amato and Sam Giancana.

D’Amato had secured JFK the nomination when he trampled Hubert Humphrey in West Virginia. And Giancana, along with Richard Daley’s “Chicago Machine,” gave JFK the presidency, compliments of the Cook County Mob.

Then Bobby Kennedy declared war on organized crime, the very group that got his brother the nomination.

Nov. 22, 1963, was payback for the Bay of Pigs, Marilyn Monroe’s death and double-crossing organized crime.

Crunchy Classified

This past weekend, I ordered a soy latte at Starbucks and took a sip — as Ashley Dupre so poetically put it, “vomit in my mouth” (“Oh Man, What a Meathead,” April 28).

It tasted like curdled pus, but that’s because it was.

The barista accidentally used cow’s milk instead of soy. Yuck. Did it ever occur to you that taste is mostly learned?

As for the self-described “total b!$&#” contemplating a date with the vegan guy: Please send me the details. I know a ton of amazing women who would love to meet him.
