Letters of the Day

today there are 3 winners:

Driver education teaches students not only the rules of the road but also the hazards. They often are shown pictures of horrific crashes and mangled bodies.

Do schools use the same philosophy in sex-education classes? Are they shown pictures of the final days of a 25-year-old man dying of AIDS? If not, why not?

— Jack Banghart, Des Moines.

and

I agree with Jim Nussle: We need an inspector general. Maybe an inspector general could figure out what Nussle and the Republicans did with President Clinton’s surplus.

— D.A. Benda, Toledo.

and

G.W. Bush: “I listen to the voices.” The only voices Bush hears are the ones in his head.

— Keith Nichols, Perry.
