Dear Editor: It would seem to me the people at the two student newspapers responsible for the attempted boycott of the Nitty Gritty would be able to use their college education to evaluate a situation in its entirety.
In the 1960s and â??70s (before the boycott sponsors were a twinkle in their fathersâ?? eyes) the owner of the Nitty Gritty was the host of an extremely popular local childrenâ??s TV program, and later Madisonâ??s No. 1 rated TV sportscaster. He then purchased a run-down bar at Frances and West Johnson streets and built it into one of Madisonâ??s most respected eating establishments.
