...present and past officer of an Optimist Club and the husband of the president of an Opti-Mrs. Club, I wish to register my protest to the biased type of reporting you presented in your Feb. 17 story on Mrs. Dean. It would seem that tact, and the acceptance of a jury's verdict would be sufficient to indicate the innocence of the defendant in this situation. The Optimists and Opti-Mrs. do not lightly undertake their obligations to an individual or a group of children...
...police in Djakarta rounded up Sumatrans thought to be sympathetic to the rebels, threatened prosecution of anyone caught listening to rebel broadcasts. Dr. Bahder-Djohan, president of the University of Indonesia and a Sumatran, asked to be relieved of active duty in protest at the bombing of his homeland.

...burden. Perhaps because he is white. New York-born, New Orleans-reared Novelist Feibleman, 27, lacks the pamphleteer's rage of Richard Wright (Black Boy) and the jazzed-up, Joyced-up intellectual's revulsion of Ralph Ellison (The Invisible Man). His book is not a work of protest; it is a soft laugh at the whole spectrum of racial ironies...
