...Cisneros and her staff. The most newsworthy are sent to Reporter-Researcher Nancy Chase, who picks those that will be published. A digest of the week's letters is also distributed to TIME'S editors and news bureaus. All letters are acknowledged, and those that question the tone, emphasis or factual content of a story are answered by Cisneros, her deputy, Isabel Kouri, or one of six letters correspondents. More and more, Cisneros and her co-workers are finding that the letters are thoughtful, and require thoughtful replies. Says Cisneros: "Our writers are much more serious now. They...

The unpretentious, charming music was an accommodating vehicle for the Bach Society, which managed to project an atmosphere of intimacy and warmth into the airy spaces of Sanders. Theater...
...Paulovich never got the call. "Coach Higginson told me I was aggressive enough," he remembers, "but that I still lacked a certain smoothness, that my height was a distinct disadvantage." As he speaks of this obvious slight, there is no bitterness in Mike's voice, no remorse; rather. the tone is one of the steady plodder who never quits because of an intangible quality called pride...
