Response to More Than Moody: Depression in Teens

To the Editor:
This article is very informative for teens with depression. I am struggling with it and I know how it feels. When I read your article, I was amazed at how the things you wrote came so close to what I was feeling. There should be more writers like you!

Response to A Smoking Gun: Speaking to 9.8 Million Women & Girls of NYS

To the Editor:
I agree. Why doesn't any media comment about the radiation from tobacco and second hand smoke? 17,000 milligrams per pack per year per total body according to NEJM letter to Ed at time of Chernobyl. At autopsy, a lung slice will develop x-ray film overnight, etc. Small wonder the risk of almost all cancers go up if you smoke.

Response to Taking Education Outside of the Classroom: NYC Museum School

To the Editor:
This article is so true of what an LEOTC program can do to enhance the lives of students who are given the chance to see what is outside the classroom walls. We have students who visit us from all over New Zealand. When the schools are on holidayÑwhich is in two weeks time, we will get an influx of students from the Northern Hemisphere coming to visit us. With geysers and hot mud pools and hot water springs for cooking in, our lessons are many and varied.

Our situation, although slightly more diverse than the Museum, still has a few issues. The main one being the small 5 per cent of teachers who want to leave the students in my care and go away for a coffee! That is not an option with our lessons as we deal with real life geysers that boil all day at 98 degrees centigrade.

Response to "Sopranos" Writer Tells His Story

To the Editor:
I grew up in Brooklyn also and hung out with Terri for years. It was so good reading about him and I am very happy for his success, and that he is doing what he loves. Great to read about him.
