...helping to make the world aware of the country's problems [Sept. 17]. As good as your article was, there is no way to fully describe to the world the difficult circumstances under which the average Burmese citizen lives. I lived in Rangoon with my family in the late '70s and early '80s, so I know how bad the situation was then, and I realize it has gotten much worse since. Even though we left Burma almost 25 years ago, our hearts are still there. Sally Nance, Franklin, Tennessee
...1940s, '50s and '60s. The originator of the Christmas window and the first to hire a woman president and personal shoppers was once a showcase for high-end American designers?a tradition Baker hopes to revive. But when Lord & Taylor was bought by Associated Dry Goods in the late '70s, it lost its edge as a fashion leader. May Co.'s 1986 acquisition only contributed to their downward spiral.

Work on the docks spawned whole new riverside communities in areas such as Silvertown, which flourished for 150 years before fading with the advent in the '70s of container ships too big even for the Thames. But Ackroyd is no damp-eyed nostalgist. In the redevelopment of the Docklands area, where a towering new financial district has grown up and where the old warehouses are now swanky lofts, he sees continuity and a return to the "ancient exuberance...
...black kid, Marcus Carl Franklin, who gives every indication of being a blues-guitar prodigy. A 19-year-old Dylan, spouting aphorisms at a court hearing, is London stage actor Ben Whishaw. Blanchett plays prime-time Bob, the electrified folk-rock star who's getting annoyed by fame. The '70s, counterfeit-cowboy Dylan is Richard Gere. The movie leaps further into fancy by inventing Jake Rollins (Christian Bale), the Dylan character in a Hollywoodish '60s biopic called Grain of Sand, and Robbie Clarke (Heath Ledger), the actor who plays Jack. Is everyone confused...
