...hands-on executive, capable of mastering a great deal of governmental detail, and a chairman of the board who sets the broad policies and agenda for his administration. Few successful executives in or out of government are as capable in both facets of management simultaneously. James L. Larocca Lloyd Harbor, N.Y. Cuomo's philosophy that there be a ''sharing of benefits and burdens for the good of all'' is just the same recycled liberal baloney we have been force-fed for decades. There is more to governing than making good speeches. William L. Aumic Guilderland, N.Y. The caricature...
...streets of Bunker Hill, with their Frisco-style cable cars and steep slopes, had been fabled in L.A.'s history and in movie lore, which often are the same thing. It's where Charlie Chaplin shot a two-reeler, Work, in 1915, and where Harold Lloyd made many of his silent comedies.

And they both picked Texas Senators - Lyndon Johnson and Lloyd Bentsen - for the second spot on their ticket...
...Some of the letters are thoughtful analyses of political subtext, like the one by a Polish fan who saw the Death Star as a metaphor for the Soviet Union. Others contain casting advice, such as the suggestion that Kirsten Dunst replace both child actor Jake Lloyd, as young Anakin Skywalker, and Natalie Portman, as Padme Amidala, in the prequel films. "I know this is possible," says a writer named Duke, "since Jean-Claude Van Damme has done it. lf Van Damme can do it, Mr. Lucas, then Kirsten can, and much, much better...
