-- Dear Mr. Buckley: This photo of our baby daughter speaks well, I think, to the allure of National Review. And apparently the magazine's appeal isn't limited to readable content-a few seconds after I snapped this, she began to taste its pages and seemed equally pleased!
Sincerely,

-- Dear Mr. Buckley: Regarding the criticism of your "the hanging was public, the spectators numerous" construction (Sept. 17), I respectfully disagree with any change. Having struggled with the problem repeatedly in my writing, I decided that if my readers are savvy enough to imagine an implied verb, they're savvy enough to imagine it plural to agree with its subject. And forget the comma after "spectators." If rules interfere with-rather than contribute to- clarity, they should not be applied.
Sincerely,
Parham Henry Baker
