...missed a very important "thing" in your article "10 Things That Never Happened Before" [Nov. 17]. For the first time in U.S. history, women make up a majority of one of the nation's state senates--New Hampshire's. The Granite State makes me very proud. Lisa Groux, PORTSMOUTH...
...Klein's "Passing the Torch" was a tonic for me [Nov. 17]. During the Republican National Convention, when Rudy Giuliani sneered that he didn't even know what a community organizer is and Sarah Palin--with sarcasm that made my skin crawl--remarked that she guessed that a "small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities," the insult was personal and deep.

...incredulous at T.D. Jakes' statement that "most blacks have not been blinded by race" [Nov. 17].

I regarded the statement as a little overdramatic until I saw how the international community reacted when Obama was elected. I now look back on that night in France and on the night of Nov...
TIME photographer Callie Shell defined the American ethos with her poignant photograph of the soles of Obama's shoes [Nov. 17]. Lots of us have many pairs that look just like his, whether because of pounding the pavement looking for a job or simply walking to one's place of employment because gas is unaffordable. The photograph also defined what Obama stands for: hard work, determination and never giving up. Melissa Clarke, BEAR...
