Zsa Zsa Gabor married nine times. Jesse James and Tiger Woods are having sex with everyone in sight. Yet some feel that same-sex marriage is going to destroy the institution of marriage? Give me a break.

Matthew Merrill, SEATTLE

What ever happened to the days when you met someone, fell in love, got married, made love, then had babies and stayed together till death do you part? My husband Al and I said we were meant to be. We met when he was in the Navy. We knew each other two months before we married. I went from being an Army brat to a Navy bride. He was 21; I was 18. In June we will celebrate being happily married 56 years.

France and the Veil

Thanks for "Spotlight: France and the Veil" [May 3]. As a Muslim woman who chooses to cover herself voluntarily, I am extremely fortunate to be living in the United States, where the Constitution guarantees and respects my personal freedom and choice to practice my faith. It is incomprehensible how a ban on the veil (observed by merely 2,000 women) can help secure France's secular tradition. It would only fuel resentment and further alienate the Muslim population in Europe.

If a Western woman is not allowed to wear a halter top or the like in many Muslim countries, why would France allow Muslims their own style of dress?

Did You Really Have To Go There?

Re 10 Questions with Sarah Silverman [May 3]: The reader's comment "I want to f___ Matt Damon" is unfunny, not newsy and lowers the bar for even the worst sort of journalism.
