...stopped should have their motives questioned. Their protest is nothing but the mindless hand waving of Luddites. Do they want the poor who live in Asia and elsewhere to starve? People must not succumb to the thinly veiled racism of so-called environmental activists. HOWARD R. OLSON Walnut Creek, Calif...

...Autopsy should end up in this semantic bind. Yet you can forgive American High (Wednesdays, 9 p.m. E.T.) the creative phrasing: What is high school if not Survivor with diplomas? Besides, this reality series/teen show is a thousand times realer, factually and emotionally, than Big Brother and Dawson's Creek put together. That's partly because Cutler, who produced The War Room and directed A Perfect Candidate, let the kids film their own "video diaries" and partly because the show's MTV-meets-PBS kineticism captures the confused rush of adolescent emotion--stoked by love, self-discovery, coming out, breaking...

...responds. "Ashamed we did it. Proud we got away with it." What he has got away with is a spoof in the tradition of the Airplane! and Naked Gun series--a send-up of such Hollywood darlings as the teen-horror genre (Scream), the teen-romance genre (Dawson's Creek) and some other nonsacred cows like The Blair Witch Project, The Usual Suspects and The Matrix. Wayans, along with his younger brothers Shawn and Marlon (who star in the film and share screenplay credit), also outgrosses the gross-out genre with two grotesque close-ups of male genitalia...

...dealt a blow to peace in the Middle East is wrong. Assad wanted to force Israel to meet all his demands before the two countries resumed talks. Syria's economy is a shambles, and its people live in poverty. Assad murdered and tortured his own people. JERRY LEVY Walnut Creek, Calif...
