Letters: Obstructing Hopper's View

NOAH ADAMS, host:

It's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Noah Adams.

Coming up, we hear from a young musician with an old soul. But first, we have your comments.

In our report about the consecration of three American Episcopal bishops in ceremonies in Africa, our correspondent mistakenly identified the states of origin of two of the priests. We correct the record now. Bishop William Murdoch ministers in Massachusetts and Bishop William Atwood in Texas.

We got several letters after Alice Furlaud's commentary about a landowner's plan to build a huge house in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Locals say the home would spoil a view painted by Edward Hopper.

Listener Cingen Fissel(ph) of Brooklyn, New York writes: The people of Truro, Massachusetts have almost 300 years since the towns and corporation to adapt land use laws and zoning regulations that reflect their will. If they have not, as Alice Furlaud seems to suggest, perhaps the construction of a trophy house and well-known landscape will inspire them to do so.
