...Bill Clinton's until he started campaigning for his wife [March 10]. For what seemed like the first time, there was overt negativity in the race, and it came from someone who wasn't even running! Hillary would have been better off standing on her own. She could have taken the high road, but Bill's words and actions pushed her off it. Unfortunately, I no longer feel the same toward the former President, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Erin Borry, NEWARK...
Bush's Secret Mission I really loved Bob Geldof's article about President George W. Bush's policies for Africa [March 3]. Geldof made clear his opinion of Bush, but in the course of the article he also paid homage to some good the President has done. I am a fan of the President's (barely), and I didn't know about the success in Africa. Too bad Bush doesn't have enough p.r. savvy to put a spotlight on this proud legacy. I really loved the article, and Geldof's unique writing style made it work. Fred Ascher...
Legislating Life Decisions In her essay, Nancy Gibbs posited that politicians will soon need to make firm decisions regarding reproductive technologies and embryonic stem cells [March 10]. But she cited the work of professors who argue that, as Gibbs put it, "the embryo is a whole, living member of the human species in its earliest stage of development, not just a potential one or a part of one." This leaves out one critical factor: a mother's uterus is needed to complete gestation. Until we recognize the mother as the vital, key component to creating new life, we will continue...
...Healthful High Dr. Sanjay Gupta's perceptive article about the benefits of exercise didn't mention the euphoric aftermath of a workout [March 3]. As an octogenarian with more than 50 years' experience doing daily exercise, this feel-good effect never fails to reward. It is not just a satisfaction of accomplishment and knowledge that it's good for your health, but it's also a corporeal euphoria: you simply feel better physically right afterward. A 4-ft. by 8-ft. (1 m by 2 m) floor space is sufficient for the 20-min. routine of calisthenics I developed years...
...March 14 election for Iran's parliament left conservatives with over 70% of the 290 seats. That was a foregone conclusion; most reformist candidates were banned from taking part in the vote. Yet the election may yet prove a turning point in Iran's domestic politics and in Tehran's long cold war with Washington...
