Your item about the America Online chat with Koko, the gorilla who communicates through sign language, purported to be a "partial transcript" of Koko's chat, in which I helped to relay her signed responses [NOTEBOOK, May 11].

Very few have the moral right to judge the Chilean transition process, and some observers...
...professional dog walker" whose quote about gasoline prices you used in your Verbatim section [NOTEBOOK, March 23]. For the record, your reference should have been to "her tank," not "his tank." And for my mother's sake, I should have hyphenated my dog-walking occupation with "professional actress." After all, residuals bring in almost as much income as my Monday-through-Friday dog-walking clients. COLEY SOHN Venice, Calif...
