Your come-back to A. C. Whitaker's letter (TIME, Dec. 4) "Saliva is saliva, distilled or not-ED." is the most inept and unsnappy that I can recall. In fact I might say it was positively dumb. What Mr. Whitaker tried to tell you in a nice way was that the moisture that accumulates in musicians' wind instruments was not spit but actual water, and he was right...
...Tomorrow night it will be just rows of empty windows, starting glumly out over the Charles. The cops will tread their quiet beats, and the commuters will wait peacefully in the Square for the Arlington bus, glad to be rid of the students rudely elbowing their way through the crowded safety zone. In the Yard, the snow will fall, eventually to melt away undisturbed by the usual hands of the students scooping up the flakes and pounding them into snowballs.

"Babes in Arms," but what is not in the least true to form, he's good! With only Judy Carland and Charles Winninger to help him drag a so-so cast through the script, he has taken the show on his own Napoleonic shoulders and carried it through to Garcia...
