Camille Cosby

The information and opinions provided by Gregory Kane regarding Camille Cosby's comments (Commentary, July 15) were sorely needed, and I thank him for his broad-minded article. I wish, however, that he had not made the statement, "Hating each other is what Americans do." I don't know of any other country that has been more successful in its promotion of ethnic and racial harmony than the United States. Consider the difference between now and 50 years ago in the access by all ethnic groups to societal benefits and opportunities.

In a highly unusual statement aired eight times over a two-hour period Wednesday night and Thursday morning--in which the word "apology" was used 10 times--top management at talk station KFI-AM (640) expressed deep regret, made corrections and offered retractions for comments made by nighttime host Tammy Bruce involving Camille and Bill Cosby and the murder of their son, Ennis. KFI's nearly five-minute apology was pre-recorded by program director David G.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Arthur Greenwald on Tuesday scheduled May 21 for a trial to determine the competency of Bill Cosby's former business manager, Mary Waller, to manage her estimated $10 million to $12 million in assets. Waller was fired last June from her post as chief financial officer of Cosby's Santa Monica-based personal services corporation, SAH Enterprises, after Cosby's wife, Camille, discovered several alleged misappropriations in the Cosbys' bank accounts.

And yet a third project has entered the race to put the story of imprisoned black South African leader Nelson Mandela on American TV. HBO says it's now planning a factual drama about "a Mandela-type subject," to star Danny Glover as the African National Congress leader who has been detained 22 years and Alfre Woodard as Mandela's wife, Winnie. A co-production of Titus Productions and Britain's TVS, it will go into production in Zimbabwe in November.

Re "Markhasev Is Found Guilty of Cosby Murder," July 8: It seems pretty clear that juries in Santa Monica regard evidence as being more valid and reliable than in some other jurisdictions where the [Johnnie] Cochran defense strategy includes some other guy did it, the police are sloppy and there were no eyewitnesses. The district attorney should insist high-profile criminal cases go to Santa Monica. SOL TAYLOR, Sherman Oaks The Cosby family, and indeed all of us, should be proud of the process and final disposition of the trial.

The boyfriend of the woman charged with trying to extort up to $40 million from entertainer Bill Cosby by threatening to make public her claim that she is his illegitimate daughter pleaded guilty to conspiracy in federal court Tuesday and is cooperating with prosecutors.

A Los Angeles federal bankruptcy judge is expected to hear arguments today from attorneys for comedian Bill Cosby and his wife, Camille, on a motion to appoint a trustee to oversee $10 million in assets held by the Cosbys' ex-business manager. The Cosbys sued their longtime manager, Mary Waller, last fall for allegedly embezzling more than $8.

Shame on KFI for their treatment of Tammy Bruce ("Tammy Bruce's Lawsuit Against KFI Includes Sex Discrimination," by Judith Michaelson, March 26). Why was she singled out for so-called offensive remarks when virtually every radio show host on KFI has said something that has offended someone at one time or another? I actually heard the show in question, and found Camille Cosby's remarks both off base and tinged with racism. Bruce was merely pointing this out in her typically provocative style.

KFI's David Hall treads on slippery ground in singling out Tammy Bruce for her remarks about the Cosbys ("KFI-AM Apologizes to Cosbys," by Judith Michaelson, Aug. 21). The "talk station" drips vitriol from early morning to late at night. Topping its list of featured hosts is Rush Limbaugh, who relies on innuendo, obscenities and gossip to insult the targets of his right-wing diatribe. LOUIS ST. MARTIN Pomona KFI finally took steps to stop the views of Tammy Bruce. She had become the late-night "hatred host," trying to compete with the daytime "hatred host."
