RE: The Bard College Prison Initiative
To the Editor:
I am very impressed with the BPI. I have a brother incarcerated in Florida who is expressing interest in such a program. He is very intelligent and wishes to better his chances of success upon release. Do you have any information on similar programs in FL? Thanks,

RE: Daniel Rose & Harlem Ed Activities Fund
To the Editor:
I truly respect this kind and smart man. I wish that Mr. Rose had a top office in the United States. I am an artist/painter from New York, now living in L.A. Please view my work on Google. I think it is important for the youth to know that they do not spawn from slaves but that we are from enslaved people, captives, people that loved, tried to learn. And felt deeply. I am painting a series titled “cotton series, place of reference.”

RE: The Imprisonment of Jean Harris
To the Editor:
I really enjoyed this article. I intend to go out and buy this book Marking Time. I’ve seen Mrs. Harris on TV and watched the made for TV movie starring Annette Benning. I feel Mrs. Harris is a highly intelligent woman who fell deeply in love, but that love was betrayed. That love for him was still evident after the murder as she didn’t want anything negative to be said about Dr. Tarnower during her trial. That truly shows how much she loved him and that she is a unique individual. I hope she has some peace in her life now.

RE: Paleontologist Mark Norell at AMNH
To the Editor:
I think this article is great. I am actually doing a report on Paleontology for my TAG class this week. I was excited to do a report on this career because I have always thought about positions in this particular career. Researching this topic and finding information on it was very well...challenging. I have books on dinosaurs which really motivated me and Dr. Norell’s story inspired me in a career in Paleontology. Thank You!

RE: Dr. Eric Kandel Discusses Maimonides & Medicine
To the Editor:
What an amazing man. Adversity propelled him to the US environment of academia and research. Risks taken during all times of history, can pay off!
I am an RN that has a huge interest in neurobiology as I was a Guillian-Barre survivor as well as a care-giver for an Alzheimer’s patient, my father. I have done extensive studies on neurotransmission. Kandel is a fascinating scientist.
