...nation described in your cover story continues to grow [MUSIC, Feb. 8]. I am inspired by Lauryn Hill's music. When I have to get up at 5 a.m. and stand at the bus stop, I listen to her song Nothing Even Matters, and I am encouraged. A hip-hop nation is being formed by talented, beautiful and ambitious musicians. After 20 years, hip-hop still triggers artists to create on the basis of realistic truth. Hill is a part of my nation!

Jack E. White's column "The Other N Word" [DIVIDING LINE, Feb. 8] described an incident in which David Howard, a white man employed as an ombudsman by the Washington mayor, used the word niggardly in a budget discussion with a black staff member. Although intellectually defensible, Howard displayed a lack of sensitivity. How might a gay person react if, in planning a bonfire for some civic event, a straight person suggested "piling a few fagots on the fire" to get it going? Let's not confuse intelligence with wisdom.
