...after nearly four months off for family time and recreation, Rubin has re-emerged for another high-wattage star turn. Smiling alongside Sanford Weill and John Reed, the co-chairmen of Citigroup, the 61-year-old financier confirmed that he would help them run the nation's largest financial conglomerate (1998 assets: $669 billion). Rubin's timing, as usual, is perfect. Just as the former Goldman Sachs investment banker climbs back into the spotlight, Congress is preparing to vote on a historic bill that plays legislative catch-up with Citi's 1998 merger with Travelers, the insurance outfit that also...
TIME should be commended for providing us with rare insight into the mind of a killer [NATION, Oct. 18]. Unabomber Ted Kaczynski is an unrepentant murderer who deserves the life sentence that was given to him. Perhaps being in prison for the rest of his life will make the Unabomber finally realize the pain and agony he has inflicted. MIGUEL NOE DEJESUS RODRIGUEZ Chicago...
...disappointed that the U.S. Senate rejected the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty [NATION, Oct. 25]. Now that the Senate has sent rogue countries a signal that the world's leading nation doesn't mind if they test a nuke or two, the world of the 21st century is sure to be full of nations with nuclear arms.

...Senate's chance to approve the nuclear test-ban treaty--already ratified by 26 nations--was a test of the "leadership" the U.S. likes to talk about. The nation failed that test miserably and damaged its credibility around the world. But what the heck. Congressional Republicans can also be proud of the U.S.'s not paying its U.N. bills, of foisting the Ken Starr fiasco upon the nation and of resisting gun-control measures so that those N.R.A. contributions can keep coming in. Tells you something about their agenda, doesn't it? JURIS MAZUTIS Nepean...
Americans are morally outraged whenever war atrocities bubble to the surface, as they have in recent revelations of the July 1950 killing of civilians by G.I.s at No Gun Ri, South Korea [NATION, Oct. 11]. Somehow we feel that we are above this type of behavior, that we are the protectors of democracy and freedom. But we forget that in times of war, every human being is capable of behavior that would never occur in times of peace and prosperity. The My Lai massacre is a reminder of that painful past. But do isolated terrible acts make us a nation...
