...accept the fact that Benji is not a Doberperson pinscher or a Gerperson shepherd [Aug. 20], but your chauvinism is revealed when you say he is named "co-chairperson of a humans' charity committee." Humans? Shame on you. Why not hupersons...

When Dole, 47, succeeded the hulking, amiable Rogers Morton it was, according to a White House aide, a little like a hungry Doberman pinscher taking over from a St. Bernard. Dole is articulate and often abrasive, a four-term former Congressman who suffered a World War II wound that has made his right arm virtually useless.
