...administration. Few successful executives in or out of government are as capable in both facets of management simultaneously. James L. Larocca Lloyd Harbor, N.Y. Cuomo's philosophy that there be a ''sharing of benefits and burdens for the good of all'' is just the same recycled liberal baloney we have been force-fed for decades. There is more to governing than making good speeches. William L. Aumic Guilderland, N.Y. The caricature on the cover does not befit Cuomo and misses completely his sense of caring, his warmth and charm. Carolyne Chirichello Santa Cruz, Calif. Your cover illustration of Cuomo...

...book publishers--unlike newspaper and magazine publishers--do virtually nothing to check or warrant the accuracy of what they print. They won't knowingly publish a fraud, but they won't take the first step to expose one. In fact, they don't even seem to turn on their baloney detectors when they sit down to read a manuscript.

...read Klein's assessment of Edwards with amazement. It was naive, to say the least. Edwards is without a doubt the most phony-baloney candidate out there, Democrat or Republican. He is the model of political self-interest. Edwards has been carefully grooming himself for political glory ever since he finished milking the health-care industry for every cent he could as a trial lawyer specializing in personal-injury litigation.
