...Hollywood's Ticking Time Bomb I agree with James Poniewozik's assessment that Hollywood has yet to demonize China in the same way the news media have [Aug. 11]. However, one need only look at the parallels between negative news coverage and negative pop-culture depictions of Arabs and the Middle East during the past decade, or similar coverage of the Japanese during World War II, to see how closely one influences the other and how both influence the minds of the American people in different ways.

...Remote Control? James Poniewozik's premise that the Parents Television Council is opposed to the communication of "ideas" is grossly inaccurate and missed the substance of the debate about Dexter [Feb. 25].
