...effort to steer you away from the road of rash generalizations, I'd like to object to your preview of Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd, in which you wondered how the film's "buckets of gore" and singing and dancing might attract or repel "fogies" and kids [Dec. 3]. I'm a 17-year-old theatergoer, and I don't think kids are looking to Sweeney Todd for Saw IV thrills. Besides, the R rating precludes the Disney audience. And have you checked out Broadway lately?

With Roy and Nick at the helm, the UC will steer a new course for the campus. They embody a leadership that views its mission, but not itself, as important; one that has the credibility and understanding of campus social life to set the tone for the debate; and one that will speak frankly, work diligently, and act responsibly to guarantee...
...Cocoon 4 Roth Audio's Music Cocoon 4 ($800) is a powered-up iPod dock that adds depth to digital recordings. But steer clear of audio files that have been highly compressed; even the best tubes can't recover all the sonic details lost in that process. www.rothaudio.co.uk...
