...Would Teddy Have Approved? Re Joe Klein's teddy awards honoring courage in the political arena: A John McCain regime would have probably finished the job that the Republicans began so well of dismantling the National Parks system [Dec. 29]. This - and the concept that we should protect our national resources - is Teddy Roosevelt's greatest heritage. You really think he'd like McCain? Richard Bagwell, Berkeley, Calif...
...couldn't disagree more with what Bobby Ghosh wrote in "The Moment 12/14/08: Baghdad" [Dec. 29]. While I have been unhappy with most of President Bush's decisions, respect for the presidency should count for something.

What happened to that "journalists' code of objectivity" Ghosh writes about? Jeff Seyler, WILBRAHAM, MASS...

...wasting space on Sarah Palin [Dec. 29]? Her time is past. Let sleeping dogs lie. Nothing would make me happier than to have a woman as our Chief Executive. However, she should be an able, qualified one (where is Hillary Clinton when we really need her?), not a Miss Cutesy Pants. Doris Paster, SOMERSET...
...describe the late Charlton Heston as a "figure of epic contradictions," citing his marching with Martin Luther King Jr. in the '60s and his leading the National Rifle Association in the '90s [Dec. 29]. I fail to see any contradiction. The man consistently fought in important and not entirely risk-free ways for the rights and dignity of individuals. John Loosemore, HANCOCK, MICH...
