...SOCIETY WANTS AND NEEDS CAPITAL punishment, executions should be as painless as cataract surgery or baptism [Jan. 14]. Hanging, electrocution, firing squad and lethal injection all have aspects that are cruel to both criminals and those responsible for carrying out the execution. Russell Crom, MOUNT PROSPECT, ILL...

The United States is in a particularly unique global position to influence the peace process, and it is our moral duty to make the most of it. Although Bush?...
