...highly tendentious article, "Radicals in Conservative Garb" (ESSAY, Aug. 11), Ezra Bowen has wrenched quotations from context and twisted history to attack the importance I have attributed to recovering a jurisprudence of original constitutional meaning.

This time, five days elapsed before San Francisco-based Wells Fargo became the first institution to react, though competitors thereafter quickly fell in line. Industry experts suggest that one reason for the sluggishness was that many major banks, facing massive liabilities in Latin America and elsewhere, are trying to boost...
...smoke or not to smoke? For Fidel Castro, that is no longer the question. The Cuban President, who turned 60 last month, gave up his beloved stogies a year ago. Last week he urged others to follow his lead. "I haven't taken a single puff since last Aug. 26," Castro said. "I don't miss it, and I feel better...
