When We Wrote Letters

When I read in Sunday's New York Times that Hillary Clinton's college-era letters to a high school friend had been miraculously preserved for posterity -- ("Since Xmas vacation, I've gone through three and a half metamorphoses") -- I braced myself for the inevitable parodies. There were so many possibilities! Surely my Post colleague Ruth Marcus would now imagine Hillary Clinton's elementary school-era letters to a playground friend ("I do hope you'll join the committee I've created to ensure equal sandbox time for all"). Surely Maureen Dowd would do a snarky version of George Bush Jr.'s college-era letters to George Bush Sr. ("Dad, can you lend me some money to buy a term paper?"). Surely someone would spoof Hillary's old letters to Bill, Dick's letters to Lynne, George's to Laura. And then I thought: Letters?
