[Bob Cherry]

Interesting. Non sequiturs and libelous correspondence from an obvious crank.

Dear Ms. Lam:

I am embarrassed that Bob Cherry said he was "objecting to your biased, sloppy, and lazy use of the English language in a news article in my hometown newspaper" for the use of a word (dump) in a direct quote in a headline.

Dr. Cherry is a retired Army Colonel.  During the late 1990s, he was, in a small capacity, responsible for determining the health issues of depleted uranium munitions.  During that time, he completely neglected the chemical genotoxicity and teratogenicity of uranium, even though it has been well established since at least 1954.  In a just world, such negligence would result in a lengthy jail sentence.

I recommend that you profile him and his work.
