...Thank you so much for your article on the lack of effort being made to utilize the intelligence and abilities of Japanese women [Aug. 29]. I am a Canadian woman teaching English in Japan, and I was shocked by how patriarchal Japanese society is. Your story quoted a women's rights activist as saying, "Women must work twice as hard as men to advance their careers because of prejudices within Japanese companies...And then they have to go home and work three times as hard there." Japanese women work until their backs are literally bent to the ground...
...Master of Malgudi Thank you for "the fountainhead" [Aug. 15-22], about novelist R.K. Narayan, who vividly brought to life the make-believe South Indian town of Malgudi through detailed descriptions of every street, alley, shop and office.

A literary great, he is still alive in the hearts of many people around the world! Suresh Kumar Parappurath Bangalore, India...

...Dolphins washed out of an aquarium during the hurricane were rescued from the Gulf of Mexico. Later the dolphins said, 'Thank God we've been saved from swimming freely in the ocean and put back in our tanks.'" --CONAN O'BRIEN...
