...risk of sounding like a crybaby, I feel the short item on Chet Atkins was an insult [MILESTONES, July 9]. You made him sound like some unknown guy who was just sitting on a curb hummin' and strummin'. In fact, Atkins was probably the best guitarist the U.S. has ever produced. As a guitarist for more than 40 years, I have listened to everyone from Andres Segovia to Jimi Hendrix, and the only other guitarist I would put in Atkins' class is Segovia. There is a huge group of people over 50 who have heard some real talent...
...better movie. By implying that I like both movies, I’m not trying to lionize the creator of Beavis and Butthead at the expense of Kubrick’s genius. Obviously, I know that mentioning both movies in the same breath is a general insult to the former and an unnecessary aggrandizement of the latter.

...younger generation of liberals (like his son-in-law Michael "Meathead" Stivic) was upsetting all that. Their antiwar stance was, in his eyes, an insult to his Greatest Generation experience; their sexual openness shocked his values; and - most shocking to him and to viewers - their emphasis on civil rights opened the floodgates to minorities and rival ethnic groups, whom he called "spades" and "wops" and "Hebes" and so on without flinching. The flinching, O'Connor left up to us; he never acted to make us love or hate Archie, he said, but just to convey the truth...
...night with Rob Schneider would flip me like a Vermont legislator!" Tick, nervous about these ideas, did not want to comment: "I don't want to say anything about Rob Schneider's not being as good-looking as Heath Ledger, because that might insult Rob." This is a man who tries to have sex with a goat on film...
