...judging the ten best daily newspapers [PRESS, April 30], TIME should use only one criterion: How well does that paper serve its community? It does not matter whether the area numbers 500 or 1 million. In fact, the most responsible and probably the best journalism has been practiced in this nation's suburbs and small towns. We have to face our readers every day.

In order to meet the criterion of specificity that the Supreme Court demands of a statute, the MacKinnon-Dworkin bill committed the sin of ridiculousness.

In quaintly secular fashion, Erikson approaches an idealization of the power of love not unlike the old Christian attitude, implicitly forwarding the social health of love as the chief criterion for judging a culture. Hansberry seems to have constructed A Raisin in the Sun from the critical vantage point of the possibility of universal love. While the result is staggering, one immediately wonders if it is always possible to respond so feelingly to life and art. Are there some feelings which...
