Young and Pregnant Kathleen Kingsbury's opinion--clearly one of distaste for teen mothers--should have been left out of your article, especially her assertion that "perhaps [Gloucester High] has done too good a job of embracing unwed mothers" [June 30]. So if they marry, it's O.K.? Unwed teenage mothers need all the support they can get, and they should be integrated with peers so they can stay in school despite the huge responsibility of raising a child.

Black Fathers Michael Dyson seems to point to economic reasons for black men's leaving their children [June 30].

...recent phone call between the two men the New York Post calls Bam and Bubba was by all accounts truly cordial. The former President and the current candidate chatted for 20 minutes on June 30 and agreed to share a meal and make a joint public appearance soon. Friends say Bill Clinton is still taking his wife's loss to Obama hard--and personally--but he appreciated the Senator's gracious tone. Clinton has begun to emerge from his combative crouch, but with a travel-packed schedule and the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting looming in September, he may best...
