...impressed by the sympathetic coverage of the recent alleged crime of violence against a female student and the report on MIT's plan to toughen its alcohol policy (News, Feb. 6). So wrapped up in pride at the responsible reporting of my school's newspaper was I that reading the headline "Students Battle Blues" completely took me by surprise. In your report on depression in the Harvard community, depression, a mental illness which has a lifetime epidemiological prevalence of 5 percent in the U.S. population, was portrayed as an unseemly response which some people facing a bad set of circumstances...
...setting for An Unfortunate Prairie Occurrence, the third and best of Jamie Harrison's laconic Montana mystery novels, is the small town of Blue Deer, just miles from Yellowstone National Park but far, far away from anything resembling mainstream, middle-class America.

If they get religion while incarcerated, great! As believers, they should be better able to admit their offense and graciously accept their penalty. BILL STONE Henderson...
...outraged at the stupidity of the Q&A with Willie Nelson [PEOPLE, Jan. 12] in which he was asked about marijuana use and he joked about being stoned. How much crime has to take place in the name of drugs? How many people are pushed over the edge because of drugs? It's no joking matter. DOMINIC HOPPS Valley View, Australia
