...silence and had their plight ignored for far too long. In fact, the nation seems to have a history of silence. Many people did not know about the atrocities committed during the rule of Belgium's King Leopold II, and many do not know what is going on today. Thank you for bringing attention to a place that dearly needs it. Your story was extremely moving, and I have not been able to stop thinking about it. I hope readers will be persuaded to take action and help restore dignity and peace to the brave Congolese people. Amanda Doveatt Naperville...
...want to thank TIME for writing an unbiased review of Floortime and ABA. Too many articles prop up one approach over the other without giving an honest summary of both.

...Thank you, Joe Klein, for your column on Barack Obama as a possible presidential candidate [June 5]. In my opinion, Obama is not only the future of the Democratic Party but also the future of America. Although he has "zero military and national-security experience"--as was the case with the current President--he understands the problems facing everyday Americans. It's refreshing to hear someone like Obama speak from the heart and actually mean what he says. Elect Obama in 2008! RALPH REAGAN West Cape...
