Editors:
Among the deformities that I noticed on page 11 of your June 2004 issue, the following may or may not be the most egregious:
"Although shy at first, it is possible for a stranger to spend quality time with the town's mayor."
Who or what is shy: "it," "the stranger," or "the town's mayor"? Your author of "many other books" left something dangling in the mountain air.
