...chances that anyone will die from an asteroid collision with Earth are close to zero [SPACE, March 23]. Perhaps we should take a look at another threat to countless lives, the nuclear bombs around the world. What would happen if one of those went off? NATHAN S. VAN CUREN Maryville, Tenn...
Thanks for a balanced article on Indonesia's economic crisis [WORLD, March 23].

We feel it is not productive to launch a debate over the facts surrounding these incidents from the past. However, there ought to be a discussion of the questionable conduct of the plaintiffs' attorneys, who knew there was significant doubt as to whether there were racial epithets on the tapes...
