...Picturing Mr. Dubcek with Jan Hus on your cover [April 5] is as inspiring as the reformation taking place in Czechoslovakia today. For the first time in 20 years, basic freedoms can now be enjoyed by all Czechoslovaks, in an atmosphere of free will and self-expression, without fear of persecution. Bravo! to Mr. Dubcek, his ministers, and aides for succeeding in placing the foundation stones for the New Republic. And hats off to TIME for a concise account of events...
...have provided the first objective article on marijuana [April 19] that I have seen in a national magazine. Pot is becoming a social phenomenon, but the lives of many are being ruined by the felony convictions incurred by the carrying or use of even one gram of pot. Additional research on pot is desperately needed. Legalization, or liberalization of the existing pot laws seems long overdue. What is required is less emotionalism and more objectivity, and quickly...
...Charles Collingwood's television special [April 19] may well become known as Hanoi's Finest Hour.

Is there any doubt that Roberto de Vicenzo had the same score as Bob Goalby or that his play merited a playoff round to determine the just winner? This gross injustice is a mockery of sportsmanship...
...That prissy wrap-up about see-through blouses "dulling the senses" [April 19] seems vaguely familiar. Hasn't that same broken record been grinding away ever since legs first emerged from the hobble skirt? In the time from flapper fringe to miniskirt, legs may indeed have lost their shock value, but a well-turned leg still turns heads. What short skirts have done for the leg man, see-through blouses may yet do for the more high-minded girl watcher...
