To the editors: My sincerest apologies to the New Duncan Imperials [Letters, April 13]. My letter [March 30] was intended to be a comment on the quality of the review [Critics Choice, March 2], not the quality of the band. I never meant to imply that the band was not good, only that the review […]

To the editors: What insight Laurel Fantis and Zapp Merryweather and the Medusa Collective possess [Letters, March 16]. Why it’s positively shocking: there are men who hate women. Who would have guessed? And, judging by these letters, there are also women who hate men. Nawwww. Say it ain’t so, Josephine. But equating sex crimes with […]

To the editors: My white friend from the Union of South Africa really enjoyed your cover article “The Color of Money” [April 6]. Soon it will be live Black and go to black schools, beaches, and communities. Won’t it be wonderful. Who are you trying to kid. Robert Burns N. Sandburg Terrace

As a long time enthusiast for Judeo-Hellenistic syntheses, great was my thrill to see the name of Philo boldly listed among the […]

To the editors: It is impossible to understand how a man so sensitive to the lives of children that he could write a classic on the role of fairy tales in a child’s psychological development–yet actually be a sadistic monster. That is one’s dilemma after reading the poignant letter (Reader, Apr. 6) from Name Withheld […]

To the editors: In last week’s calendar we erroneously reported that Alexandra Billings had been nominated for a Jeff award for acting in Vampire Lesbians of Sodom. The show itself has received a recommendation from the Jeff committee, but it is not their policy to specify the reason before the balloting is official. Sorry about […]
