...publicly denigrating" the nation. As you noted, this prosecution could count against Turkey's bid to enter the European Union. Advocating for Turkish E.U. membership in order to encourage a kind of moderate and democratic Islam can be a noble mission. Nevertheless, the E.U. should not ignore popular opinion. What if millions of European citizens simply do not want Turkey - a militaristic, deeply nationalistic, Asiatic (geographically as well as culturally) country that has a history of disrespect for ethnic, religious and other minorities - to become a powerful decision maker in the E.U.?

Alex Slack has managed to commit all three sins in just one article (“The Easy Way to Fix Fly-By,” comment, Oct. 6). First, if he truly believes that all cotton garments are equally non-abrasive, I suggest that he try sleeping on denim sheets for a night. Second, although I myself am a frequent flyer-by, I haven’t seen any evidence of the innate lasagna-spooning inability he reports among short females...
