...Drug Warfare in Mexico Re TIME's postcard from Culiacán: "Mexico's drug war" is in fact America's war fought in another country [Dec. 29]. You describe the narcotrafficking murders but fail to explain why they occur: as a direct result of demand for cocaine in the U.S. They do not demonstrate, as may be inferred, any inherently violent characteristic of Mexican society. About 90% of cocaine used in the U.S. passes through its southern neighbor, and Mexican civilians are dying so that American drug addicts can get their fix. David Sussman, Williamstown, Mass...
...Creative Kindergarten Your postcard on the blue school, the high-priced, flavor-of-the-month teaching experiment in New York City, tells us that preschoolers are encouraged "to mess with shaving cream" [Nov. 22]. I expect that with such "encouragement," the little darlings in a few years will take up aerosol paint cans and leave their creative tags in the form of graffiti on public landmarks. But no doubt such "messing" with spray paint is just another form of self-expression. Richard Orlando, Montreal, Canada
