...East Territorial integrity and the safety of the people are always a prime concern for the leader of any country [Jan. 16]. Sharon became symbolic of the true soldier, a warrior and an aspirant for peace. He remains an undaunted hero, but no individual is indispensable. Israel has no dearth of successors to Sharon. K.C. Subhash Chandra Bangalore, India Whoever becomes the next prime Minister of Israel knows that the Palestinians and the rest of the Arab world will never want peace of any kind.

...first major effort toward that end came on Feb. 3, when Summers announced the creation of two Faculty task forces to address the dearth of women in science at Harvard. Politically, the announcement was most significant because of the help he had enlisted to facilitate the task forces: Professors Drew Gilpin Faust, Evelynn M. Hammonds, and Barbara J. Grosz, all members of the Faculty and strong critics of Summers’ original remarks. Inside Mass.
