...thanks to you is the industry's sentiment, says Michael Wascom, spokesman for the Air Transport Association, the airline lobby based in Washington. In a statement to TIME, Wascom said, "A plan to release incomplete materials purporting to assess carrier performance against a nonspecific standard, before the carriers are allowed to fully respond to these issues, is fraught with difficulty for both the FAA and the industry."

While I agree with the sentiment expressed by Orr, Shames and Rosenfeld in their critique of Farris's portrayal of the "Ideal Harvard President" (Letters, "Cartoon Objectifies," Feb. 22), I think their anger is misdirected. I would like to point out that the image used in the cartoon--an incredibly exaggerated and emaciated female body--has been the dominant symbol in the Steve Madden advertisement campaign for over two years.

Bing's orotund tone places ironic quote-marks around the speech, but in most movies he lives up to the sentiment. He has few hot smooch scenes; you rarely see him smolder with lust; his frequent come-ons to women are vamps, comic or ironic improvs on the required movie theme of heterosexual romance...
