Three cheers for "The Real Truth About the Female Body"--the most informative, most sensible and most enjoyable piece on gender issues I've seen in a very long time [THE SEXES, March 8].

Your writer Richard Schickel made the wrong argument in favor of Kazan's honorary Oscar. Schickel stated that Kazan's films are so good that they cancel out his misdeeds, saying history resists easy moralizing. The right argument is that Oscar should be about great art and cinematic achievement, and Kazan deserves the Oscar for that reason. MITCH...
