What is so special about the lady censured for feeding the pigeons that she should warrant a front-page article (March 1)?

I, too, have emphysema, coupled with asthma and a blood clot in each leg, and will consider myself lucky if I can last another five years.

I certainly do not feed the pigeons and if you look at my windowsills and in my gutters you will see why.

My emphysema is caused by a rather rare genetic disorder. I wonder what the reason is for hers?
