...have, I must confess, serious doubts about the efficacy--or even the integrity--of the "classic" exam period editorial, "Beating the System" you reprinted recently. I almost suspect this so-called "Donald Carswell '50" of being rather one of Us--the Bad Guys--than one of you. If your readers have been following Mr. Carswell's advice for the last eleven years, then your readers have been going down the tubes. It's time to disillusion...
Susan Smith took nine days to confess to the drownings of her two children after faking a carjacking in Union, S.C.; today a grand jury deliberated less than three hours before indicting her on murder charges in connection with the incident.

...must confess I am very disappointed in your choice to publish the recent article by David S. Griffel ("And The Band Played On (II)," sports column, Oct. 13, 1994). "The crowd stinks," and "the fans are...LAME" are some of the first phrases that jumped out at me when I read the article.
