...Your Set Re "Blame It on Teletubbies" [Oct. 30]: The Cornell University economists whose study suggested a potential link between autism and young children's television-viewing habits should earn nothing but derision for their efforts.

If lawmakers believe that Gerberding is floundering, her institution's budget will suffer...
After years of being the guy behind the songs, Tomlin is poised to achieve that more Prince-like status as well. He won a bunch of Dove Awards (the Christian Grammys) this year. He's all over Christian radio. And he's a huge draw at the big annual student gatherings known as Passion conferences. But Tomlin doesn't want to be Prince. Music immortality is fine.
