...crowds of mourners and mountains of flowers at Kensington Palace, I saw a nation devastated, not just by Diana's death but by the terrible destructiveness of death. I saw a nation without any religious framework within which to make sense of this loss. STEPHEN TURNER Cambridge, England...

...those first-years and sophomores who have been anxiously waiting to find out who is the class of the new millennium, Stephen Jay Gould has written a book for you. Questioning the Millennium tackles some of the debate before veering into the history of apocalyptic movements and day-date calculating.

...story "A New Man in Donorgate?" [NATION, Sept. 8], about a January negotiating round between U.S. and Chinese representatives on a textile trade agreement, strangely omitted a few facts. The individual you focused on, Stephen Lau, whom you characterized as a Hong Kong businessman, openly presented himself as an adviser to the Chinese. While he did join me and other delegation members in a ride to a meeting with Chinese government officials, ostensibly as an escort to the Chinese Ministry of Trade, Lau did not engage in substantive discussions with anyone in the U.S. delegation about the ongoing U.S.-China...
