...regret that there exists at Harvard an event called a "Tribute to Black Men" (News, Feb. 4, "Johnson Honored With Vanguard Award by ABHW"). But more troubling is that a party attached to the event gave "free admision for black men arriving before 11 p.m." Do we really want to see social events with different prices for people of different races? I think racially-defined clubs, of which the 'Asian-American Christian Fellowship' is another example, create distrust in our society.

He later comes to regret sacrificing his art when, with sublime irony, his own dummy turns against...
...difficult life was for them. I found it interesting that your cover on the April massacre called the boys "The Monsters Next Door." In light of the tapes, in which the boys apologized to their families, these young men were not totally merciless or without feeling and regret. MICHAEL MCMANUS, age 17 Manchester, England...
