...Real, Live Bigot," your columnist Jack E. White writes as though he has been granted a special license to hurl hateful epithets that stigmatize good people for life [DIVIDING LINE, Aug. 30]. Indeed, this piece has set us all on a perilous course. Who will have the courage to enter this vital debate? Is a new version of the French Revolution's Reign of Terror upon us--with reputations, rather than heads, falling? D.L. COBURN Dallas...
...Webster's Dictionary a bigot is defined as "a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices." Given that definition, White is correct, even polite, when he refers to David Horowitz as a bigot. Anyone who examines Horowitz's writings over the years will discover a perverse obsession with black people, an obsession for which he has been paid handsomely by right-wingers whose problems with blacks are probably more profound than his. Bashing black people is a lucrative 19th century industry that has survived into the 20th. ISHMAEL REED, PUBLISHER Konch Magazine www.ishmaelreedpub.com Oakland...

The fruit juice contains the same beneficial flavonoids--aromatic micronutrients--found in red wine...
...years after Disney's Snow White, various heads came together to show how an animated feature could be hip, visually fecund and (remember?) psychedelic. Four writers, including Love Story's Erich Segal, invented bizarre universes for the Beatles to stroll through, and designer Heinz Edelmann dreamed up creatures whose beguiling oddness suggests a collision of Dali and Dr. Seuss. Seen now, in a long-overdue video release, the film registers as an obvious inspiration for Sesame Street, Monty Python and MTV, and is a delight on its own. Thirty-one years on, nothing in feature animation has matched its endless...
