...Conventional Warfare In "Tearing Kerry Down" [Sept. 13] columnist Joe Klein called Senator Zell Miller's speech at the Republican Convention the "ugliest" he had ever witnessed at a convention. I felt the same way, and I have been watching political conventions since 1964, when I was a supporter of conservative Barry Goldwater. If I had been a Republican delegate this year, I would have walked out on Miller's tirade. That would also have spared me Dick Cheney's speech employing the politics of fear.

If the heartbroken Shah Jahan's mausoleum for his wife Mumtaz Mahal is everything India should be--spiritual, awesome, peaceful--Agra, with its choking traffic, litter-strewed dirt roads and throngs of grotesque beggars is everything it unfortunately still is. "This not what I expected," says Camilla, 22, a psychology student visiting from Sweden. "Not at all. I mean...
