...picks those that will be published. A digest of the week's letters is also distributed to TIME'S editors and news bureaus. All letters are acknowledged, and those that question the tone, emphasis or factual content of a story are answered by Cisneros, her deputy, Isabel Kouri, or one of six letters correspondents. More and more, Cisneros and her co-workers are finding that the letters are thoughtful, and require thoughtful replies. Says Cisneros: "Our writers are much more serious now. They really mean business." All of which pleases the writers and editors of TIME...

Elena Gragnalia slurs her authentic Italian accent maternally, yet as the landlady Isabel, she is reduced to desultory shuffling. Ponderous pauses mar Alan Fink's performance as Dr. Rappacini.
