Joel Stein--man, reporter, large yellow bird--has a job waiting for him here at PETA anytime he wants to climb back into the chicken outfit and hit the road as he did when he joined us for a protest in the chicken section of a Delaware supermarket [NOTEBOOK, Aug. 7]. The PETA Commando Chicks that Stein traveled with were so impressed with his stint as a renegade feathered protester that they have offered to personally help him "chicken out" and go vegetarian.

...presidential weekend is sort of a pat on the head for Nigeria, which Clinton spurned on his six-nation tour of Africa in March 1998. He simply flew over Nigeria to protest the brutal and corrupt military dictatorship run by Gen. Sani Abacha.

Protesters who demand that this brilliantly humane enterprise be stopped should have their motives questioned. Their protest is nothing but the mindless hand waving of Luddites. Do they want the poor who live in Asia and elsewhere to starve? People must not succumb to the thinly veiled racism of so-called environmental activists. HOWARD R. OLSON Walnut Creek, Calif...
...sounding alike, but Democrats will never be able to pull off a convention where the delegates are in their seats by 8 p.m. and cheer on command (8:04: applause for 30 sec.). Republicans acted out only once, when a handful of Texans bowed their heads in prayerful protest during a gay Congressman's speech on trade...
