Setting the Record Straight Re "The Real Running Mates" [Sept. 24]: I am very disappointed that TIME would publish incorrect information from another publication that stated that I never worked outside the home. Never was I interviewed for TIME's article, but it was certainly written to imply that I had been. For the record, after receiving my law degree from the University of Kansas, I was a research attorney for a justice of the Kansas Supreme Court. Later I accepted the position of an assistant vice president and trust officer at a bank. After our first child, I worked...
Beats from the Streets Kudos for interviewing 50 Cent [Sept. 24.] He's a force of nature. Learning that his nickname is "a metaphor for change" gives me greater respect for him. But I take issue with his claim that Kanye West's music is "aimed at a straight pop audience." West's hip-hop is less gangsta and therefore softer, but it is also more substantive.

The Crimson was unable, however, to recover from early deficits against Yale the following day and fell in straight games. Harvard fronted the Bulldogs an 8-0 lead in the first game and was never able to fully recover. YALE 3, HARVARD 0Yale (8-4, 2-1 Ivy) entered Saturday’s match having won four of its last five matches and hoping to extend its streak. Though Harvard was able...
...route that led the couple to their deaths. That journey began at the swank Ritz Hotel on the Place Vendome, and continued to the Place de la Concorde and the unscheduled rendezvous with the press pack waiting to pounce. The jurors were then driven by bus down the long, straight expressway that eventually dips underground at the Pont d'Alma - the tunnel where Diana's car struck a pillar that killed both her and al-Fayed. After reexamining the tunnel in darkness Monday night, the group was set on Tuesday to then visit the hospital where Diana was pronounced dead...
