Re “House Hearings Roll On, but Many Tune Out” (front page, Nov. 18):

Thank you for reporting on how so many Americans did not bother to listen to the impeachment proceedings last week. It helps to answer a question that was nagging at me all weekend: How on earth could anyone listen to the words of George Kent, William Taylor and Marie Yovanovitch and still not question the ethics and morality of our current president?

Impeachment has invaded every cell in my body. Physically it has caused rashes and fatigue. Mentally it has left me saddened and anxious, dizzy at times, and desperate for relief. Even Valium could not overcome impeachment’s toxicity. Even when conversations never touch impeachment, it remains the elephant in the room.

So the monster has triumphed. Au revoir to cable news. Sayonara to talk radio. Farewell to the written media. Hello to ESPN, western movies, “ S ay Yes to the Dress.” You are my haven now. For the sake of all Americans, censure the guy and move on.

We Americans had the opportunity last week to hear from three stellar Foreign Service professionals. Their love for this country is unquestionable, and the dignity with which they serve us is admirable.
