...moral anchor and an increased flirtation with paganism? Mightn't these be signs of growing scientific illiteracy and irrationalism? We humans should take responsibility for our actions and stop blaming God and Satan for our shortcomings and follies. History has demonstrated what happens to civilizations in which reason is replaced by irrationality. SAMUEL KOUNAVES Boston...
...Europe, to accuse Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori of running a "brutal and authoritarian government." How easily Fujimori's critics forget the brutal years of 1987-92, when thousands of innocent people died at the hands of the guerrillas.

...during the Games, "Canada with an Accent" [NOTEBOOK, Sept. 25], was the most insulting article I've ever read.

America's '80s buyout phase mostly bypassed Europe. The main reason: there were fewer European public companies then. It took the IPO movement of the '90s to make going private possible. But what's happening now is no replay of '80s America, Wright insists. That era was marked by hostile bids and huge, massively leveraged deals often financed with high-risk, low-investment-grade junk bonds. Today's deals are rarely hostile, and debt levels are more manageable. Today's mantra is "buy and build." Once a company has been taken private, the idea is to build...
