...American people, Congress and intelligence officials that Bush is a strong and foresighted leader who should be re-elected for his courage in tackling the problem. Strength in action is all that terrorists understand. Peter H. Spielmann Rancho Mirage, California, U.S. Wouldn't it be wonderful if, in-stead of having turf battles, the heads of the FBI and the CIA, along with their aides, would meet weekly for a full day to brainstorm, share information and ideas and cooperate? Bruce Bartel Huntington Beach, California, U.S. The Danger of Absolutes The U.S. deserves admiration for its great achievements, as well...

...same type of public schools that barred Catholics’ entry or went unfunded when Catholics were admitted have merely collapsed under the weight of today’s urban poor— which are disproportionately ethnic minorities. In their stead, more successful charter schools have been established and, more significantly, voucher programs have been proposed and in some places, established. And even while the Supreme Court declared last year that voucher programs did not violate the U.S. Constitution, the racist-inspired Blaine amendments of many state constitutions are now being wielded against the voucher programs of today...
