...outraged by Brian Hecht's description of the observation of the 25th anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination ("Citizen's Recall JFK Death," November 23.) His depiction of Kennedy School students obliviously carrying on "as usual" unmindful of that somber date is inaccurate and misleading. More than that, it is an insult to the entire Kennedy School community...
...arrived around noon, he could have shared with the almost 200 Kennedy School students, staff, faculty and friends (slightly more than a handful, Mr. Hecht) the short simple ceremony held in front of the fountain in JFK Park. He could have heard Plummer Professor of Christian Morals Peter J. Gomes' inspirational message that rather than eulogizing President John F. Kennedy '40, we should each continue to work towards those ideals that he personified during his life...
...races which Democratic challengers should win are in Nebraska and Nevada. Sen. David K. Karnes (R-Neb.) who was appointed to the post following the death of Sen. Edward Zorinski, is trailing popular former Gov. Robert Kerrey by a significant margin. And Sen.

Dick Bryan in a close race...
...Republicans to regain control of the Senate, they must take five of the six open seats, hold onto all their incumbents (including Weicker, Karnes and Hecht) and pick off Lautenberg and Metzenbaum. This will give the GOP a 50-50 tie in the upper house, which could be broken by the vote of Vice President Dan Quayle, assuming that a Republican is elected to fill Quayle's seat in Indiana...
...that is highly unlikely. Right now it looks like the Democrats will hold off the challenges to their incumbents, beat Hecht and Karnes and at least split the open seats. This result will still increase the Democratic majority in the Senate to 56-44, a margin which will make life much more difficult for a President Bush and his agenda than it was for President Reagan...
