Jerome Powell has a backbone. It would be nice if more were like him.


to the editor: Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome H. Powell has a backbone (“Federal Reserve's defiant independence catches Trump off guard” January 12). I wish there were more like him. America and the world would be in a much better place.

Compare that to HBO and its handling of the documentary “Critical Incident: Death at the Border,” which investigates the death of Anastasio Hernández Rojas at the hands of Border Patrol agents (“HBO released an explosive Border Patrol documentary. Why is its star angry?”. January 9). The federal government refused to bring criminal charges against the perpetrators even though the coroner had ruled the death a homicide. But HBO, as journalist John Carlos Frey alleges, “buried” it in a post-Christmas schedule.
