...McCullers? best trick is to keep viewers unsure of which side they should be on, before they realize the story???s not about confrontation but collaboration. Neither character is a caricature. Kate could be the snooty Bryn Mawr deb of old movies - the one whose class prejudices must be exposed by the working-class hero or heroine - but no, she?s decent, patient and hard-working. (And unexpectedly curvy-sexy, in the mandatory straight-girl-has-to-get-drunk-and-go-crrraaazy scene.) Most of all, Kate wants only what?s best for her baby, even if it drives...
...need to read the cover story??on Murdoch. All I needed to see was the boldface quote "On Fox News, do we put on things that favor the right? ... I don't know. I don't think we do. Aw, it's subjective." These are the words of a media titan? It seems to me that he struggled with a question that would have been a great gag line on late-night talk shows...
Kudos for the insightful story??"Putting Limits on Teen Drivers" [Oct. 23].

Having trained one of my teenagers to drive, I concur with your story's conclusion that adding new laws and restrictions on teenagers is a good beginning, but parents must add more rigor and oversight as their children are taught to drive...

It should come as no surprise to anyone that chimps and gorillas share our ability to communicate, our need for social bonding and our capacity to feel joy and sadness. What should also be apparent is that these intelligent, sensitive creatures deserve to be treated as such and not taken at birth from their parents, kept confined in isolation their whole lives and used for painful experiments...
...detected a pattern in your story??on the fall of WorldCom's former CEO Bernie Ebbers and other corporate fraudsters who may be facing hard time [March 28]. You reported that "Ebbers said he was too ignorant about accounting to detect the financial crimes of his underlings." John Rigas, CEO of Adelphia Communications, "claimed he was CEO in name only." And Richard Scrushy, CEO of HealthSouth Corp., "thought his financial officers, though aggressive, were operating within the confines of the law." It is stunning how men who claim to be so clueless came to run huge companies and earn salaries...
