...note in "Lost Magic" that "Terror now lurks in the shadows like a stranger." I suggest that brotherhood is there also. The picture accompanying the story shows a wounded white man cradling a more seriously wounded black man in his arms. The world's salvation lies in such love being more powerful than fear, not in better security and bomb-detection devices. CHRISTINE KERBSTAT Julian, California...
...radiant face of Jonathan Edwards, the British triple jumper who said he was thrilled to get silver and made you believe it); sportsmanship (in the tears of American Lindsay Davenport after she beat her "very best friend," Mary Joe Fernandez, in the women's tennis semifinals); and brotherhood (in the 82-kg wrestling bout in which Elmadi Jabrailov of Kazakhstan beat Lucman Jabrailov of Moldovia--his elder brother and coach--before the two went off to relax together...

It would be an unprecedented example of human brotherhood if each major dairy farmer outside Britain donated just under 2% of his herd to keep British farmers in business. Everyone would suffer a little, and no one would be wiped out by this tragedy. British beef could once again be consumed without fear. If nations can come to the rescue of others by waging war, why not a peacetime offensive? If animals can be shipped to zoos, it is certainly...
