President Clinton could take cues from Oprah. She admits experimenting with drugs, suffering childhood indignities, learning from bad relationships. Unlike so many who continue to make unhealthy choices, feeling sorry for themselves or blaming others, Oprah evolves. She doesn't spin around the same lame stuff. Think of what she's accomplished in one lifetime. Think of how everyone loves her. In a cynical, road-rage, self-absorbed America, Oprah is a hero we can all identify with and aspire to emulate.

...Oprah's Beloved appears to be one more in the current series of racial hate-mongering films. Doesn't anyone remember how Uncle Tom's Cabin, by vilifying the antebellum slave owners, helped bring on a war that cost half a million lives? JERRY PATTERSON Van Nuys, Calif...
Your cover story on Oprah was superb! She--along with Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas and Michael Jordan--has done much to foster positive relations between black and white Americans. Oprah has demonstrated that we can and do judge people by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. RICHARD F. MANNING Naples...
Picture this. Waiting for my TIME, I eagerly open my mailbox. I run into the house flipping pages as I go. Then the picture of Oprah, scarred from lashings, slaps me upside the head in "Oprah's Summer Dream." I throw it to the floor. I cannot go there. Not with this woman--not my beloved Oprah. I must. I force myself to look at Oprah's scars. I thought I understood. In Roots, I cried with Kizzy and adored Chicken George. But this is different. This is someone I really know. My soul knows her well...
...Thanks, Oprah, for being you and for inspiring women all over the world. Lead on, ringmaster! NECIL B. OLIVER Powhatan...
