The mail.(Letter to the Editor)
Your January/February issue on "Homeland Dangers" was cathartic: exhilarating and refreshing beyond description. Karina Rollins ("No Compromises on Terror") provided the common sense that could lead to a return of national sanity.
The only reservation I had was Ms. Rollins' reference to mosques as a threat. Our problem is not with mosques, but with some of the people who go to them.

In the late 1960s, my family, now residents of Massachusetts, lived in rural Virginia. We gained a perspective on the Confederate story that Yankees like us rarely have.
Your March 2003 issue was unusually thorough as well as empathetic to both sides of the Civil War. All I can say is, "WOW, what a great issue!"
