In regard to your coverage of the MBTA construction fatality on May 18, 1982, we found your front page photograph to be in extremely poor taste. The suffering of Mr. Kelley's family and co-workers must be acute enough without exacerbating their pain with the graphic depiction of his crushed body. The incident was covered extensively by the major Boston media outlets, all of whom refrained from such morbid illustration. What purpose did the Crimson's not one, but two, photographs serve? We feel that the Crimson should step back and assess the motives that compelled them to lower their journalistic standards in this manner. Such blatant sensationalism should be left to the likes of the National Enquirer. Brian MacCormack Don Morriaey Tom Murray
