Rich Lowry's viewpoint, "The World of Hillary Hatred," was off the mark [Nov. 19]. What conservatives hate about Clinton is that she is a woman. It's nothing more than old-fashioned sexism. Equal rights have always been anathema to them...
Kudos to Katonah, N.Y., for fighting Martha Stewart's efforts to trademark the town's name [Nov. 19]. Is Stewart's ego so big that she has to own a town's name? This is identity theft, another example of the avarice of corporations and the people who run them. Who gives these demigods the right to tell people what's best for them? Stewart should take a page from Katonah's history and move herself...

Donny sold more records and had more success onstage. In TV, they're about even. (He hosted the game show Pyramid for a couple of years; she's on Dancing with the Stars.) Give...
...Muslim and western cods indeed clash, as Carla Power noted [Nov. 19]. Question any religious people about public displays of flesh, and they will tell you they abhor it.

Lo and behold, the last week in October, I saw a shift from pumpkins and scarecrows to elves and ornaments--not a costume in sight, and Thanksgiving had just been left in the dust. It's disheartening that holidays have become a retailer's trap for the consumer and that we've lost their real meaning altogether...
