...perfect nerd, but I've changed my mind after reading your informative article [June 18]. It was the quote about his admiration for Steve Jobs' taste that finally broke the ice. Gates appears to be more sympathetic and quite different from my earlier impression. I won't dare criticize him for being wealthy, as I hope he succeeds in curing a lot of inequities with his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Gates 3.0 is entirely commendable and should be a model for many other celebrities. Sebastian Kiesel, Augsburg, Germany...

Hatred between Iraq's Shi'ites and Sunnis runs so deep that few dare cross the divide and seek partners outside their sect. Jumana Majid, 24, and Abdel-Salaam al-Hilli, 27, both graduate students at Baghdad University, had been involved for three years before he formally asked to marry her. Majid's parents, who are Sunni, quickly gave their blessing...
...culture, this is the hate that dare not speak its name. Consider as evidence the best-seller lists, which are crowded with odes to mutts by philosophers and poets.

Dog lovers will remind me that he has given me many things, not least among them undying loyalty. I know that.
