...somehow failed to assess the ways that feminism has changed the intellectual, legal and political landscape since the late 1960s. Instead you assembled a grab bag of popular-culture effusions that, taken together, form a ghastly caricature that only antifeminists would recognize. TIME also managed to miss the fact that many men call themselves feminists. We're not the wishy-washy cliches of popular culture, either. We simply respect women, oppose attempts to keep them relegated to second-class status and join with women in the cause of equal rights. RICHARD B. BERNSTEIN New York City...
...Sunbeam. The appliance maker lost $44.6 million in the first quarter, and may post another loss this quarter. Analysts who thought the company would earn $2 a share in 1999 put the figure today just north of $1. Sunbeam suffers from an inventory glut that will take months to assess and longer to fix. It appears Dunlap had been "stuffing the channel," persuading retailers through discounts to buy more gas grills than they would normally need. This practice helped swell Sunbeam earnings in 1997 but led to this year's crash. Even Dunlap's huge success at Scott Paper...
...Pakistan and India pull back? Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee said his country might reach an agreement not to be the first to use nuclear weapons. Domestic opposition to his party's nuclear jingoism is starting to emerge now that cooler heads assess how much sanctions, like the World Bank's postponement of an $865 million loan, may hurt. Even some in the Indian military are urging restraint. "I don't see a warlike situation building up on either side," says General V.P. Malik, chief of staff...
...think it would be well worth everyone's time to assess just what exactly is being argued. I strongly feel that Harvard, as the educational institution which I attend, should have responsibility for my well-being while I am here. Female students who support Radcliffe do so because they feel a need and a love for structures that support women and that provide women with a space of their own. They gripe that Harvard doesn't do that for its female students and that thus Radcliffe is necessary to ensure women a fair deal while attending Harvard...
Richard Nixon should have received a higher standing than No. 15 in the historians' ranking of U.S. Presidents. While Nixon is the "most difficult President to assess," many will admit that he was one of the greatest foreign policy Presidents of this century. Also, I disagree that John F. Kennedy (No. 8) might have been "first tier" had he lived. The Vietnam War would have hurt him in the end, and he would probably have lost a bid for a second term. JASON HINDLE Keene...
