SANE
Sir:
Your account of SANE's history [April 27] surprises me. When did the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee publicly denounce SANE's board? Though Senator Dodd criticized us, we were never "denounced" by any congressional committee.
SANE was never slow to criticize the Soviet Union. From its beginning in 1957, SANE has protested on behalf of people everywhere against tests anywhere—in East or West.
We welcome TIME'S certification of our respectability. We continue to reject the "realism" of security through preparation for war and in our respectable way applaud the President's efforts at Geneva to break out of the grisly arms race.
FRANK MCCALLISTER Co-Chairman SANE Chicago
Sir:
I deplore your condescending and superior attitude toward SANE and Dr. Spock. As a psychiatrist who has worked with children for many years, I feel that Dr. Spock presents a very honest and realistic attitude toward this insane business of atomic testing. He does not go far enough. Psychiatrists recognize that this constant living in fear, which we are all doing, is having a tremendous emotional impact upon our children. The constant talk about the nuclear threat and the threat of war is not conducive to happiness in our children. If more courageous and thoughtful Americans would speak up, as has Dr. Spock, perhaps we could overcome the madness which our nation is now involved in.
CARL L. KLINE, M.D. Wausau, Wis.
Sir:
Instead of "Give me liberty or give me death," SANE's cry is "Liberty is expendable. Don't let me die."

Drop the Kleenex
Sir:
In your March 16 issue, you credit Saul Bass with designing the new color-drop Kleenex package. Taint so. I designed that box, and it took lots of doing.

Bah! Bah! Bah!
Sir:
"New Haven for Women" indeed [April 27]. You know, of course, what will happen: sopranos in the Whiffenpoofs and a 98-lb. nymphet in the Yale crew. I am advising my son to give up his hopes of being a Yaleman and concentrate on the Daisy Chain at Vassar.
RICHARD F. PRENTIS Des Moines
Sir:
Harvard's craven, if piecemeal, capitulation to latter-day feminism, culminating in the recent decision to grant Radcliffe girls Harvard degrees, should hardly be taken as an example by intellectually more mature institutions of higher learning.

Duelers or Peace Marchers?
Sir:
The revival of dueling in German universities [April 27] is more admirable than rioting on Florida beaches or picketing against proper military preparedness.
I wish we had 1,000 Alte Herren at Harvard instead of 1,000 peace marchers. They'd be considerably more practical.
