...pleased that critic Richard Corliss noted the attention to detail by the makers of Apollo 13 [CINEMA, July 3], but there were some errors in the review. The names given to the command and lunar modules of Apollo 13, Odyssey and Aquarius, were not, as the article implied, derived from the entertainment-industry products 2001: A Space Odyssey and Hair.

Ill-minded men wed to this pernicious folly inhibit us from ordaining reasonable policies regarding sex, drugs, violent crime, taxes, the military and foreign policy.
