...even Harvard has been immune from the epidemic of easy image editing. In the background photograph on the cover of Harvard's student telephone directory, the word "SERBIA" was blanked out and replaced with part of the word "ENGLAND." Margaret M. Murphy, directory project leader for University Information Systems, said that the cover was designed during the NATO campaign against Serbia and that "we didn't want to appear insensitive to any of the people affected by the turmoil in Eastern Europe." The intent of the change, she said, was "to not make a political statement." Of course, the move...
Evidently Einstein had an affinity for gazing out over the ocean, as depicted in the photograph you ran of him on the beach at Santa Barbara, Calif. In the summer of 1936, when I was a very young boy, he was visiting Watch Hill, R.I. I saw him standing at the end of the pier gazing into a bright sunset, which made his hair appear to be a brilliant golden halo. Over the years, I have supposed that his thoughts that evening were of the significance of E=mc2. JOHN E. GOMENA Pacific City...
Contrary to another popular belief, the pre-exam period ritual is not about exhibitionism.

...estrangement in chronicling the very ordinary. Ruscha, in fact, literally takes us into the plane with him in his series "34 Parking Lots in Los Angeles." Shot aerially, their meticulously drawn lines, directional arrows and predictably spaced gas stains are suddenly mesmerizing--and humorous. One stand-out is the photograph of the Dodger Stadium parking lots: emanating radially from the stadium like the leaves of an artichoke, they are at once industrial and organic. Ruscha's painted evocations of Los Angeles' grid-like topography (straight lines, written names) likewise succeed in turning our personal (and local and national) geographies topsy...
Your article on the murder of army Private Barry Winchell [NATION, Dec. 13] included a caption for a photograph of me that was misleading. I was referred to as "Winchell's cross-dressing friend." I was more than just a friend. I was Barry's lover and girlfriend. Also, a cross-dresser is generally thought to be a heterosexual male who wears women's clothes. I am a male-to-female transgendered person, meaning I feel mentally, emotionally and spiritually that I am a woman. CALPERNIA SARAH ADDAMS Nashville, Tenn...
