...serious charges, and their ultimate validity is yet to be determined. But still more uncertainty surrounds Mather’s motivations. It is well known that Adams had something resembling a gong in its dining hall, but no one knows whether it was more than a round, bronze symbol. The gong had not been heard to ring since Adams’ losing war with Pforzheimer House, now more than a decade in the past. Listen closely to the chatter in Mather’s dingy halls of power: those who once talked of earth-shaking malletted tones now talk...

Yes, perhaps exposed for crass commercial reasons, but it's just one of 300 million to be found in America. There are other boobs Americans should be more concerned about. Like George Dubious?

Although I feel great sympathy and even a certain admiration for what the U.S. military is doing in Iraq, the choice of the American soldier as Person of the Year was extremely disappointing to me. It is sad to select a symbol of man's continuing and predictable stupidity. If a great and powerful nation like the U.S. cannot find a more compassionate and creative way to deal with international discord, we are all doomed. FRANCOIS HEBERT Montreal
