Weakening the spiritual fabric

I take strong exception to David Blecken's statements in his June 3 letter, "Marriage not needed for family," that "pregnancies occurring among unmarried couples should not really be an issue at all" and that "you cannot truly be in love with someone until you have had sex with them."

In Japan, show reverence where it's due (or not)

Japan is the country that I feel most at home in. Yet, despite having arrived in 1967, and living here for the better part of the intervening 40 years, I still see myself as the odd man out in one particular aspect.

Not intended as a documentary

I do respect the reviewer's challenge of the historical facts suggested in the movie "300." However, his anti-American ranting is a bit much. Why didn't he just stick to the movie? I have seen the movie and it wasn't a history documentary; it was an action-packed story about an army that stood up...
