...Nation in Mourning I applaud TIME for featuring victims of the Virginia Tech tragedy on the cover [April 30]. You reminded us that the lives taken were real. Some of the photos hinted at extracurricular interests; others were obviously school, military or formal photographs. All were pictures of promise. The images of Cho Seung-Hui were disturbing and indicative of the evil in the world. But the faces staring at me from your cover, while heartbreaking, were reminders of the love and promise that abound. Thank you for showing them to us. Christopher Yodice, Levittown, New York...
...Your cover was a very stirring tribute and a great way to memorialize victims of the terrible tragedy that was the Virginia Tech shooting. Unfortunately, Cho's face was missing. While far from a tragic hero, of course, he did die that day, and there's no telling how his death-and that of 32 other people-could have been avoided. M.

Let's also take just a moment to reflect on what every day must be like for the citizens of Iraq, where senseless killings of this magnitude have become a regular occurrence in the four years since we invaded their country. Every time we read a sidebar saying "32 killed by suicide bomber," this is what it is like. Paul Graff, Santa Monica, California...
...Voices from V.T. As 1973 graduates of Virginia Tech, my wife and I were very impressed with your cover honoring the victims of the horrible assault at our alma mater [April 30]. As true Hokies, we will remember the best four years of our lives at Virginia Tech. Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. In true Hokie tradition, we also feel for the family of the gunman. Dennis L. Napier, YORKTOWN, VIRGINIA...
