...outraged that TIME has chosen to promote Primary Colors [CINEMA, March 16]. Joe Klein's book was never more than a trashy attempt to capitalize on his so-called inside knowledge of the Clintons and the seedy side of presidential campaigning. But you have dignified this trash with your outrageous comparisons ("real life, 1992" vs. "reel life, 1998") and brutal attempts to make the character of the fictitious presidential candidate seem to be a clone of Bill Clinton. Where is your responsibility as journalists? Have you no shame? ROSALIE ZWAIN Rancho Mirage, Calif...
...your story about the strategy of the attorneys for Paula Jones [NATION, March 16], you asserted that John Whitehead, the head of the Rutherford Institute, became involved with the Jones litigation "to raise the institute's profile." That is wrong. As Mr. Whitehead has repeatedly explained, the institute made its decision to assist Paula Jones in September 1997, when the press reported that her attorneys had departed because she refused to accept the President's settlement offer. Without attorneys or funds, Ms. Jones would have had no chance of having her day in court...
Your story on Federal Judge Norma Holloway Johnson, who will play a key role in shaping Kenneth Starr's investigation [NATION, March 16], said she "has acquired a reputation for tilting strongly in favor of the government." That statement is questionable, if not outright nonsense. You overlooked a volatile case, Murphy v. National Security Agency, in which Judge Johnson courageously ruled against the government and in my favor...
...article "!Viva Selena!" [CINEMA, March 24, 1997], we referred to a book called Selena's Secret by Univision anchorwoman Maria Celeste Arraras. The book reports the results of an investigation into Selena's murder. Although in the article TIME characterized Ms. Arraras as one of the "scavengers...circling" after Selena's death, we were unaware at the time that Ms. Arraras had pledged to donate all profits from her book to charity. We apologize for any misunderstanding...
...appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee looking into antitrust matters [TECHNOLOGY, March 16], Bill Gates said, "At the end of the day, there's only one question: Are we allowed to innovate?" But that is not the issue. It is whether he will sell a product that allows others to innovate and compete in the marketplace. If IBM had used tactics similar to those of Gates' Microsoft in negotiating the design of DOS with Gates & Co., the history of the personal-computer industry would have been significantly different. Gates needs to be reminded of this. ROGER J. PATTERSON Muscat, Oman...
