...Deal? Not Yet The photo on the cover of your Nov. 24 issue is an O-bomination! Can we please wait to see how well the new President does before we canonize him? Joseph Cortese II, West Des Moines, Iowa...
...Rudy: Organize This! Joe Klein's "Passing the Torch" was a tonic for me [Nov. 17]. During the Republican Convention, when Rudy Giuliani sneered that he didn't know what a community organizer is and Sarah Palin made similar sarcastic remarks, the insult was personal and deep. My mother, a beloved longtime community organizer, has been gone for 10 years, yet her accomplishments in the communities she loved are still lauded and taught to a new generation. Klein's comment - "This is who [community organizers] are: they are the people who won this election" - was a balm. Julie Yugend-Green...

I look back on that night and I realize now that the U.S. has demonstrated...
...What Obama's Win Really Means I appreciated "The Messiah Myth" [Nov. 24]. As an Obama campaign volunteer, I was among the 40% of whites in the crowd at rallies, and I soaked in the amazing diversity of blacks in attendance. I began to learn, as you say, what blacks have "to show America and the world." This time the fire is like burning coal: strong, quiet, productive energy. Your article rings true with my experiences: Obama is not the wave; he rides it. He represents what we are striving for in ways that transcend race. Gerald Remington, Orange City...
