...Davida McDonald's frustration with Radcliffe President Linda S. Wilson ["Linda S. Who?," Feb. 2] requires a thoughtful response. As a Radcliffe graduate (1968) who has returned to Harvard determined to help expand opportunities for women and minorities here, I appreciate McDonald's values and goals.

Moved by ethical concerns, a number of former fur lovers have defected to the other side.

...atmosphere, capturing well the archness of the classic tease. Miss Lonelyhearts' newsroom colleagues also do a more than adequate job. Derek Pajaczkowski as Ned Gates, "The failure incarnate," swings adroitly between hope and bitterness, and Brian Foley as "Flash" Goldsmith excels at wry faces. Less convincing is Brooke Davida Waxburg's Mrs. Shrike, more fluttery than seductive, while Holly Blatman as Betty--"the typical American girl, well-scrubbed and soft as steel"--labors courageously with the worst lines in the script...
