Charles Krauthammer's story on religion and politics [ESSAY, Sept. 24] inexplicably distorts the distinction I drew between Government policy and private choice.

No one in our society questions that. But there is a deep division within our society about whether this is the case with respect to abortion.

Two more serious questions may be why the embassy staff had been transferred on July 31 to the building before security measures were installed, and why the Americans harbored a kind of blind faith in the safety of the new location in Christian East Beirut...
...wonderful beak." Most cartoonists either exaggerate the dark circles under Mondale's eyes so that he looks like a panda or give him hooded lids that look like split coffee beans. The Washington Post's Herblock suspects that some cartoonists make Mondale "lumpier" than he is, to suggest stolidity. As MacNelly sees him, "He's very formal, hair in place. Nothing flamboyant. I'm struck by two things, his dullness and a kind of whining." After San Francisco, Mac-Nelly drew a signboard reading GATEWAY TO THE MINNESOTA WHINE COUNTRY...
