...previous paragraph made your head hurt, don't be discouraged. Nobody fully understands global monetary arrangements; the best that experts in the field seem to be able to do is worry vaguely. So what are the rest of us to do other than worry vaguely? Think twice about traveling to Europe, maybe, because it's really expensive. Hope a somewhat weaker dollar will help revive this country's beaten-down manufacturing sector - as seems to be happening - but also hope a dollar slide doesn't turn into a collapse. And put at least some of your money into investments (foreign...

...Simple truths are often the best. But even these, on television, come swimming now against a current of expectations: Is this line a signal about future troop levels? Is that paragraph a veiled play for bipartisan support on health care? Is the tone appropriately pastoral in this section and sufficiently martial in the next? TV's original power was its immediacy, its you-are-there quality. More and more, it seeks instead to mediate. A nation of citizens is invited to become a culture of critics...

...only wish I knew what transformations the Danish words underwent in the original, and how Newman’s version compares. Christensen is constantly playing with language puzzles, and it is Newman’s task to maintain this play with an entirely different set of pieces. A paragraph might break down into a single sentence, which is then distilled to a word; “explain” is deconstructed to “plain” then to “in,” which in turn begins a new phrase.However, it must be said that Newman?...

Over the Moon Jeffrey Kluger's "Moon Walkers" left me with a new appreciation of our astronauts [July 27]. It was carefully researched and beautifully written and filled in the gap in my knowledge of the lives of these men after their missions. Kluger's last paragraph on the enduring legacy of the 24 men's unique comradeship will stay with me. They are more human and more heroic than I ever imagined. Gerry Mandel, St. Louis...
