PAPER GOES TABLOID

``Wedding bells'' (Oct. 9) was the front-page blurb of O.J. Simpson's possible but unconfirmed marriage. Well, title this letter ``Local paper compromises integrity, goes tabloid.''

Really, if I wanted to be misinformed about O.J. Simpson's private affairs, I'd go stand in line at the grocers. Come on, Virginian-Pilot. If you are ever to meet the needs of a growing city, use that ol' integrity and leave the hearsay to the tabloids!
