...Barr's rationalization of his appearance before the Council of Conservative Citizens [LETTERS, March 1] was a joke. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone, Democrat or Republican, who believes that neither Barr nor his staff inquired about the aims of the council, which is described as a "white-supremacist group," prior to his arranging to speak before it. Barr's denial of knowing what the organization was all about is another shining example of the hypocrisy that Barr and many of his sanctimonious Republican colleagues have come to practice.

...news is old news. In December newspapers reported that Georgia Congressman Bob Barr, Clinton's attacker-in-chief, had delivered a keynote speech to a white-supremacist group called the Council of Conservative Citizens.

...someone has a predisposition to racism, it will be reinforced in prison." King was involved in a racial disturbance between Anglo and Hispanic prisoners in 1995. The Houston Chronicle reported last week that he sent letters from prison proclaiming race hatred and allegiance to the Aryan Brotherhood, a white-supremacist gang founded in California's San Quentin State Prison in the 1960s. Texas prison officials declared that the tattoo found on Berry indicates membership in a white-supremacist organization. An ex-general of the Aryan Brotherhood sniffed that his group would never have recruited petty thieves like King, Berry...
Your excellent detective story about the emergence of avian flu [MEDICINE, Feb. 23] was an important reminder that the most threatening bioterrorist may not be a belligerent Iraqi, a lunatic cult or a white-supremacist group but nature itself. Without warning and with little provocation, nature can deploy an army of rats and mice and an air force of birds and stealthy bats to deliver a swarm of deadly new viruses. All we can do is react to the first casualties of such an attack. EDWARD MCSWEEGAN Crofton...
