Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MARIAN E REID, extolling the virtues of Wisconsin, cited Radar as one of its 'products'. The unsophisticated, good- hearted corporal in MASH hails from Ottumwa, Iowa.
Lindsay J Russell, Edinburgh I DO NOT know who put the 'dang' in the 'Dang-A-Lang-A-Ding-Dong' (Letters, 16 October) but I suspect it was copied from the 1961 hit 'Who Put The Bomp?' by the Viscounts, which asks: 'Who put the bomp in the bomp ba bomp ba bomp? Who put the ram in the rama lama ding-dong?'
David McNickle, Saint Albans THE real question is 'Who put the Ram in the Rama Lama Ding Dong?', one of several questions asked by Barry Mann, who wrote the Viscount's 1961 hit 'Who Put the Bomp?' But the answer is The Edsels, since they were the one-miss-wonder group responsible for 'Rama Lama Ding-Dong' the same year.
D B C Reed, Northampton HANDS off Keith Flett (Letters, 16 October)] He produces letters that are worth reading and sometimes in the most unusual places.
