Your July 13 cover story on Soviet First Deputy Premier Frol Kozlov's official visit to this country seems excessively cynical, sarcastic and vindictive-like the reaction of the fairy-tale witch whose mirror of truth began telling her that she was no longer the fairest in the land.

In the classroom I have found the professors effervescing with scholarship, and daily demonstrating that, to them, "The work is play for mortal stakes." Yes, they stand there in the heat of the day enjoying...
