...Bring Me a Coke? TY! As a baby-boom mother of two millennials, I got a chuckle from Nancy Gibbs' essay [March 22]. The fact that younger people are more optimistic doesn't come without a price. My husband and I pay for college expenses and cell phones and have sent the girls on trips I dreamed of as a child. And one of my daughters lives at home. If I'd had that growing up, I would be optimistic too! Robin Cornick, WEST HILLS, CALIF...
Robert F. Kennedy ’48 famously asked America “What is the price tag on equal justice under law?” America might want to answer that there shouldn’t be a price tag on the fairness sought in employment practices. If so, it’s clear that the current trend in internships perpetuates inequality and must be stopped.

Hecklers could never get through the gate because Masters tickets aren't sold to the public; they're inherited, like bone china or shares of Coca-Cola Co. And if somehow a protester gained entrance, he would have thrust into his hand-as all spectators...

Did streets of hookers count as cultural sites...
...gets it about right. The reason it's in China's economic interest to allow the RMB to rise a bit is plain enough: At a moment when much of the world is still trying to climb out of a disinflationary hole, China's got a burgeoning inflation problem. Prices are rising at about 3% annually now, and it's now got its own real estate bubble to deal with. Cooling things off a bit is clearly the government's priority this year, and a rising currency helps. It makes imports more affordable for Chinese consumers, and thus puts pressure...
