Your article "The Good Life at Gitmo" [Oct. 15] was rather short. If you had written about the miserable life on Guantanamo Bay, it would have been substantially longer.

I don't agree with you totally that the serviceman is reluctant to leave after completion of assignment because of the base services and freshwater sports.

In other words, Radcliffe's separate voice with the government and with corporations gives it more clout in seeking funds for women's needs that would get buried in any Harvard dossier...
...SHUTTING OUT vigorous competition from abroad, trade restrictions stifle the incentive to innovate, and domestic industry only gains a paunch. So workers actually may end up benefitting from free trade in the long run, because protectionism perpetuates low-wage industries, such as textiles and shoes, at the expense of expanding higher wage export industries. While workers in the North are immediately hurt by the loss of jobs to Mexico, their successors will be better off because they may move into higher paying industries...
