...give a rat's behind who Clinton is sleeping with. I voted for him to be President, not a national saint. DEAN BALAGTAS La Jolla, Calif...
...version out of the 1958 film Touch of Evil; it is unique for having been re-edited according to the dictates of a 58-page memo written by Orson Welles after the film had been taken away from him by Universal Pictures. Welles, of course, is the patron saint of lost, botched and unfinished works. The reissue, says its producer Rick Schmidlin, is "kind of an attempt to defend his genius." Indeed, the film is now better in many of its particulars, though you still have to buy Charlton Heston as a Mexican detective. Anyway, as Schmidlin readily notes, there...
...Kidnapped and many others still ring with celebration of childhood's fantasies. In this meticulous, satisfying biography, Michaelis captures Wyeth and his times vividly: the artist's gale-force energy and the immense gravity of the family circle from which he and his children (among them America's patron saint of Yankee nostalgia, Andrew) never pulled free.

If only perfect Americans who have never lied should be elected, then 99% of the politicians in office should resign at once. CAROLINE KIM Cleveland, Texas

Ricard Maria Cardinal Carles' candidate is Antonio Gaudi, who could perhaps become the patron saint of highly decorative unfinished projects because although he died in 1926, his most famous work, Barcelona's CHURCH OF THE SAGRADA FAMILIA, is not complete. The archbishop believes that Gaudi had a deep spiritual life. Since architects have long had an image problem, His Eminence may be on to something. How does St. Frank Gehry sound...
