LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR
By Marjorie Harp|
BARBARA,
THE POETESS
Dear Max, Many thanks
for relating me to Renate Aller and Max Waldman. I like what you
say about my work and juxtaposing the African landscape with my late
mother's chair. In publishing my letter the other day and these
photos yesterday you are helping me to value and believe in
myself--something which is so difficult for most, if not all of us
to do. All the best! Barbara Singer. P. S. Since the first article
appeared, I have been writing poems or funny prose each day. Here
is what I wrote this morning.

FAMOUS INSULTS AND GOSSIPS ABOUT FAMOUS
WOMEN WOMEN WRESTLERS MAKE MORE MONEY THAN ROCKETS SCIENTISTS Hi Marjorie: I could not believe it women wrestlers in America make more money than rockets scientists. The piece you publish on the divas of the ring was very informative. In England, women wrestlers are not highly regarded. Usually, they come from a working class and are not glamourous. In the United States, their counterparts are super models. They are quite stunning. How come, you did not not write about foreign wrestlers? Harley Roberston, Bristol, United Kingdom.
Dear Marjorie: George Bush is playing dirty politics on campus. Hear this, George Mason University on Thursday cancelled plans to have Fahrenheit 9/11 director Michael Moore speak on campus five days before the presidential election. The decision came after a Republican state legislator wrote a letter to university president Alan Merten protesting the Fairfax school's plans to pay the filmmaker $35,000 US to speak on Oct. 28. "We just felt it wasn't the most appropriate use of (public) funds, so we decided the best thing to do was cancel," school spokesman Daniel Walsch said. Walsch said university officials didn't discuss with Moore whether they would allow him to speak if he waived his fee, nor did they approach student groups or other private organizations to come up with the money. This is what they telling everybody but I don't buy it. Bush is playing dirty tricks on our campuses. Sam Reeves, Virginia, USA
