...sadly disappointed in your one-paragraph Milestone on the passing of Joseph Cardinal Bernardin [NOTEBOOK, Nov. 25]. In the past 30 years, he changed the Roman Catholic Church in the U.S., helping it to be more inclusive. Cardinal Bernardin greatly affected the life of all Chicagoans of every denomination, as shown by the nearly 100,000 people paying their respects at his wake. At one time or another he was mentioned as a possibility to be the first Pope from America. Your issue was full of military scandal, technologic equipment and even more reporting on O.J. Simpson. I feel...
Except for a one-paragraph blurb that is supposed to describe Ralph Nader's platform, you have virtually ignored or dismissed Nader's candidacy. But I've seen surveys showing Nader with more support than Ross Perot, who has truly become the joke of this campaign.

...one-paragraph stories that appeared in most of the nation's press didn't tell much. As usual, Hersey, 36, an Englishman who lived in Boulder, Colorado, had been climbing alone. No one knows what went wrong, at what height, on a route that should have been relatively easy for him. It was a private death, leaving too few scraps to make a puzzle. Cearley's fall seems easier to understand. He and two companions had made the arduous climb to the 20,320-ft. summit and back down to 18,500 ft. As they stopped to rest and rope...
...arrangement of the book suggests that Doctorow is not altogether happy with the stories. The first, an agreeable family anecdote about a secret kept from an old lady in a nursing home, could be told as a one-paragraph joke. But the third is a small marvel, a conventional short story that works, and the only one of the six whose vibrations resonate after the last page is turned. A boy sees his mother making love with his tutor. The child cannot prevent himself from telling the dreadful secret to his father. The narrator, who was the boy, relates...
