Bob Hope at 100

THANKS for Charles Champlin’s beautifully crafted, refreshingly insightful celebration of Bob Hope (“A Funnier Century, Thanks to Bob Hope,� May 28). In an age when it seems too many of the brightest young newspaper writers are tripping over their own ethical lapses and journalistic indiscretions, it’s a pleasure to read one old pro bringing his many talents to bear in an appreciation of another old pro.
