Your story on U.S. troops fighting??insurgents in the Iraqi village of Qubah [April 9] appeared to be a routine report on the war--that is, until I saw the pictures of soldiers writing identifying numbers on an Iraqi woman's hand and an Iraqi man's neck.

Tourist trade, despite the fine big Condado-Vanderbilt Hotel in San Juan, is negligible because Porto Rico, as part of the U. S., is nominally Dry. Even the natives' greatest sport?cock fighting???is illegal, although this month the insular Senate passed a bill to permit...
