You may liken a controller doing his job to a man listening to his wife talk about the day's events, watching a TV news report, reading your magazine at the same time, and knowing what is going on in all three places. The flying public cannot afford to have the controller concentrate on one subject.

Degree of Progress
Sir / Your article "U.S. Raises for Blacks" [June 4] reported that "IBM has assigned blacks to supervise whites" in South Africa. This may mislead some readers into crediting IBM with a degree of progress that is not quite accurate.
To date, we have no instances of a black employee actually managing a white employee in that country.

Accomplishments of Watergate
Sir / As a former university student who saw action in Washington during the demonstrations and riots of '69 and '70, it strikes me as enormously ironic that a handful of conservative Republican lawyers and officials have accomplished what thousands of long-haired, rhetoric-spewing radicals could not—i.e., the destruction of the American people's faith in Nixon, the Cabinet and the Republican Party.
The President's last memo will read: "We have met the enemy and they are us."
JOHN FEITEN
Malibu, Calif.
Sir / After Watergate is history, there is one thing nobody will be able to take away from the businessmen in the White House. They met a payroll.
A.W. MICHALSON
Rockford, Ill.
Sir / Watergate has given us our next President: Senator Howard Baker.

Sir / Need we burn down the house to catch a few rats in the attic?

Sir / Now I know what you mean by one of your favorite words—"overreaction."

Sir / As a "resident" of this prison camp, I find it regrettable that immunity from prosecution can be bandied about like a dangling carrot. Equality under the law: punish the guilty, and immunity to the innocent.

Sir / It seems that Mr. Nixon wishes me to believe that the people he knows can mislead him, whereas heads of foreign nations can not. Unless he works more closely with the heads of foreign nations than with his own people, how can this be so?
