...America should be a cause for concern by the Bush Administration for obvious reasons. President Bush and the cia, however, should take note that the world is watching like a hawk. No meddling and cia-sponsored attempts to overthrow legitimately elected governments will be tolerated. It is not the '70s or '80s anymore. Play fair. Coenie Kukkuk Pretoria The Abode of Souls David van Biema's essay on the roman Catholic Church's changing its teaching on limbo took me back to the '50s, when I grew up attending a Catholic school [Jan. 9].

...shed a harsh light on the practice of decommissioning ships. Older vessels, in particular, present a devil's brew of toxins, from asbestos insulation of engines and decks to pcbs, acids and heavy metals in paints and coatings.

Once regulations...

NEWSPAPERS HAVE CHANGED SINCE YOU STARTED. They're less edgy. I got my start in the late '70s, sending clips to editors and saying, "You should publish this." A surprising number did. I don't know that that would work now. When we had more space, more money and less obsession with losing readers, editors were quicker to print what they thought was funny just because they thought it was funny. Now they're more likely to wonder, Is it really funny? Will it annoy people? Maybe we should show a focus group...
...WENYUAN, 74, the last surviving member of China's Gang of Four, the ring of radical Maoists?led by Mao Zedong's wife Jiang Qing?who directed the jailings, beatings and purges of legions of moderates and other perceived enemies during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and '70s; in a location undisclosed by Chinese officials.
