Letters.(Letter to the Editor)
--It was disheartening to read Roger Scruton's dismissal of rap (("The Song Is Ended," Sept. 2). He should make an unprejudiced effort to listen to Eminem. The rhythms of the rapper's speech are flexible, intricate, and ever-changing.

--Re David Klinghoffer's review of Kevin Starr's book on California (("Golden Coast," Aug. 12), all they both write is true: Living in Northern California is like living on another planet. The effort some years ago to establish a separate state up here failed because Southern California voters want our water and other natural resources. There's even talk about our advertising how terrible it is to live here! Whatever you do, Mr. Starr, don't write another book about how great this area is.

-- Re Ramesh Ponnuru's article on the Death Penalty Information CeCenter's Innocence List ("Bad List," Sept. 16), some clarifications: People accused of a crime have every right to a claim of innocence if they have been acquitted at trial or if the prosecution has decided to drop all charges. "Probably guilty," the criterion used in the article, is a subjective judgment by self-appointed reviewers.
