To Mrs. Murdoch and Carlucci,

It seems to me that your cartoonist used the recent incident of the shooting of a chimpanzee as cover for this racist statement. Is your cartoonist (and by extension the New York Post) suggesting the assassination of the President of the United States? Perhaps the FBI and the Secret Service should investigate.
