Your article "A Life For A Life" about the racial-murder trial in Jasper, Texas, put me on the verge of tears [NATION, March 8]. My heart went out to the families of both dragging victim James Byrd Jr. and his killer John William King. But bravo to the Jasper community for being strong in the face of evil and bigotry.

...each place were made funny, but not a joke. I want to run out right away and see each one of these places because of unique details you brought to light. I hope all your readers got as much of a kick out of the story as I did. Bravo for showcasing the bright spots of America! SHANA ROHDE Katy, Texas...
