...enough to drive, think about what's happening to it in the back room. I was once charged twice for work done at a service station. The best thing to do is check your credit-card statements every time. That was the only way I was able to correct my problem. RICHARD COUGHLIN Omaha, Nebraska...
...perception," as he astutely put it. "That saying Americans have--that only Nixon could go to China--that's the essence of it," Rabin said, presciently foreshadowing what the world would come to think of his own breakthrough diplomacy with the Arabs.

JULIA GRANT Stamford, Connecticut...
...staff's proposal doesn't correct that situation, and it creates a further problem. While many people view reading period to be too long and superfluous, chopping off a day will cause more harm than good. We all know that professors won't be dissuaded from unnecessarily cramming in extra material and assignments, so losing a day to get the work done only hurts the students. And while we understand the plight of those who have religious conflicts, it doesn't seem like a good trade-off to help 20 and inconvenience...
