Wasilla to the White House The headline of Kinsley's essay "Alaskanomics" [Sept. 22] enticed me to read on, expecting a cogent article which would give me an insight into the current brouhaha surrounding Sarah Palin's entry into the White House race.

Keeping a Down syndrome baby or refusing preferential treatment in horrendous prisoner-of-war conditions is a measure of character. Some can say what they'll do under pressure; others have demonstrated what they did under the intense heat of reality. Troy Hammond, ASHBURN...

Keeping a Down-syndrome baby or refusing preferential treatment in prisoner-of-war conditions is a measure of character. That's what it takes for me to choose a candidate, facing an uncertain world with insufficient data. Some can say what they'll do under pressure; others have demonstrated what they did under the intense heat of reality. Troy Hammond, ASHBURN...
