-- Dear Mr. Buckley: Re a recent column of yours: The "southern ststates" and the "Southern states" are two totally distinct entities.
The most southerly state is Hawaii. California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas border on Mexico. Three of those four are not usually included in the term "Southern" and, according to Lyndon Johnson, neither should Texas be.
And, of course, Puerto Rico would be included in "the south."
In fact, "southern" includes many more states that are not Southern and they total tens of millions of people in population.
Sincerely,
Robert W. Whitaker
