...author If I was visiting, I'd stay at the Emporium Hotel, tel: (61-7) 3253 6999, so I would be close to its cocktail bar, which is very chichi. I'd throw down some nice champagne and then head out for dinner. If I was looking for a loud Sydney-style restaurant I might go to Era Bistro, tel: (61-7) 3255 2033, at West End, where the food is edgy and there's plenty of hubbub. Or I might try an old favorite in the city, E'cco Bistro, tel: (61-7) 3831 8344, where I have never...

Mamma Mia, That's Good Copy! I haven't yet seen Mamma Mia!, but if it is half as entertaining as Richard Corliss's review, I will have spent my money well [Aug. 4]. I just finished laughing out loud through the entire piece. I intend to use the phrase "practically a sequoia" often to describe my own 61-year-old personage. Whether I agree or disagree with his opinion of the film, I will remain grateful for an evening's amusement, at no cost and in the comfort of my sitting room. Patricia W. Gould, NAPERVILLE...
