...device that reads words aloud from a typewritten page. The Quicktionary Reading Pen from Seiko Instruments reads both words and their definitions and fits in your pocket, but it can handle only one word at a time and demands a deft hand for precise scanning. Experts applaud the concept but caution that, like other technologies that counter dyslexia, it's no cure. At $275, it's no bargain either...

...read "Students Protest Transgender Deaths" (Dec. 11) with a growing sense of confusion. The concept of a "hate crime" is one which I have had problems with for some time.

I don't condone execution-style murder, and I'm down with the whole prison concept, but I just couldn't help it. I knew he could have been holding some single mother and her tiny baby hostage, but I couldn't help thinking that even though LuAnn and Junior would have driven him batty at first, by the end of the second day he would have been heating up bottles...
