Your Essay "Homosexuality: Tolerance vs. Approval" [Jan. 8] is full of the nastiest kind of bigotry-that which is expressed with a show of sweet reason and charity. "Oppose," but don't "persecute." It matters little to the stunned brain in a fractured skull whether the deed was done in opposition or persecution.

He finds it distressing that "people who are perfectly capable of doing a job have been made unemployable...
Kaiser has more reason than most to be satisfied. Though Kaster is perched atop millions of tons of brown gold, the town won landmark status in the mid-1950s because most of its structures date from the 16th century. Under West German practice, that means Kaster probably need never fear the onslaught of Rheinbraun's omnivorous Bagger...
