Readers on Cheney with a 'Y'
Stephen Hardy
Acton, Mass.
As tithe-paying LDS Church members living outside of Utah, we are concerned. The church is generally viewed as having a strong connection to the far right. By accepting an offer for Cheney to speak, it causes real challenges for church members who do missionary work.

A huge majority of commencement speakers (at one time 90 percent) are on the political left. On those rare occasions a conservative is invited, the speaker is often met with profanity, rudeness and every attempt to silence them.

Vice-president Cheney should be standing trial for impeachment instead.<

This is the wrong man at exactly the wrong time.

What an honor. I don't think I would ever criticize a decision or attempt to give advice to President Gordon B. Hinckley or his counselors, who are the Chairman and Vice-Chairmen of the Board of Trustees.

Dick Cheney at BYU reminds me of another commencement speaker who turned out to be a disaster: Lowell Thomas in 1964. He showed up late, spoke mostly on the virtue of skiing in Utah powder and then departed early. Is there a graceful way to find another speaker?
