...That You, Bond" [NOV. 20]: Daniel Craig, the latest actor to portray James Bond, reminds me of Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire. His muscular torso goes with a T shirt and jeans more than a Brioni suit. From your article, I understood how the movie industry's obsession with the hyperkinetic brutality of action films is choking the sophisticated elegance of 007. Isn't there any way to make more room for cultural diversity in Hollywood...
...young Filipina who has been seeking real heroes for a long time, I could not have been more delighted when I saw four of my countrymen in TIME's "60 Years of Asian Heroes" [Nov. 13]. We have had heroes and will have more, despite the political and economic quagmire in the Philippines. It's true that Corazon Aquino did not have an amazing presidential term, but People Power continues to inspire the world. Journalists Eugenia Apostol and Letty Jimenez-Magsanoc feed the populace with balanced news and fearless views. Pool champion Efren Reyes is always a breath of fresh...
...Separation Anxiety Peter Galbraith's article "The Case for Dividing Iraq" [Nov. 13] outlined the best solution for ending the Iraq war.

He is vigorous and intelligent and has a way with words. Unlike most of our politicians, he is neither stodgy nor crooked. He has a sense of humor and is fatally handsome in the bargain. In both stature and character, he's tall enough that we can look up to him. He's just the leader we need in our highest office. Richard H. Utt Loma Linda, California...
...Madonna's New Baby I don't understand the controversy over Madonna's adoption of a Malawian orphan [Nov. 13]. Shouldn't it be taken as a sign of generosity and love? I think the media are to blame for all the accusations of impropriety. Doing something that may be seen as trendy is not always a bad thing. Madonna's action will hopefully encourage others to adopt orphan children who might otherwise have very grim lives. Richard M. Valenci Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania...
