...reread Lise Funderburg's commentary on the new U.S. Census categories for race several times to make sure that it wasn't a tongue-in-cheek take on old stereotypes of African Americans and Caucasians [ESSAY, March 26].

...times (whether they involve a stretch in the intensive care unit or a presidential campaign as painful as this one - which in my state of New York involves the excruciating burden of Hillary Clinton vs. Rick Lazio). I have decided that between now and the election, I will reread all of P. G. Wodehouse...
