...writing to clarify an unintentional omission in the profile of me ("Are Harvard Students Happy?", Feb. 3). The article states that on Friday evenings at Hillel, "although Conservative and Orthodox Jews pray separately, they join together in a Sabbath meal after the service." While this is true, there are in fact as many as five services geared toward undergraduates which meet at Hillel or around campus on the Sabbath...
Recently, when ABC's Sunday chat show from Washington clicked into the now ritualistic lamentations made by the Sabbath Gasbags about the politics of personal destruction, William Kristol, citing victims who are all Republicans, said that a willingness to use politicians' adulterous behavior against them was, in fact, found exclusively among forces of the left.

...regrettably brief concert ended with an encore cover of Ozzy Osbourne's "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" replete with wailing guitars and a three minute code of distorted power chords.

...clear about the Bible. The Book of Leviticus commands us to murder homosexuals when we find them sleeping together. Some people would call this extreme. The Bible is also very clear about a number of other things. For example, when God catches a man picking up twigs on the Sabbath and thereby violating His law against working, He demands the man's death. Apparently, when He said you're not supposed to work on that day, He meant...
