...physics concentrator, I found the comments of Alejandro Jenkins ’01 on the bias of grade inflation toward the humanities (Letters, “The Science of Grading,” Oct. 15) to be rather unfair in their interpretation of this bias.

...what of the show indefinitely erased from the New York horizon in the wake of two towering buildings erased from the skyline? Amongst all that has been lost due to the events of Sept. 11, it is easy to overlook Assassins.

Besides which, I live in New York City. I claim no special victimhood, but I've seen firsthand the effects of the crimes of Sept. 11 on neighbors, friends, complete strangers. Which is to say, I need no reminder that these are horrible times, times that demand kindness and goodwill...
