Scribes & Scrolls
Sir: A brilliant job by your scribes in bringing vibrant life to the Dead Sea Scrolls.
WALLACE CEDARLEAF Minister Chaffin Congregational Church Holden, Mass.
Sir: Thanks to you and your excellent staff for your April 15 article; it was delightful as well as informative. It is truly a masterpiece of religious reportage.
CURT MILLER
Whitewater, Wis.
Sir: Your article points up the ludicrous belief of the average individual who claims to be a Bible scholar. The experienced, professional scholars are still changing their thinking 20 centuries after the death of Christ. Perhaps we can look forward to new findings in the 40th century.
WILLIAM A. WHALEN West Albany, N.Y.
Ike v. the Press
Sir:
Thanks to TIME [April 8] for the "Case of the Budget" and for helping John Q. Public to maintain a proper perspective of a great man who holds a great office. Moreover, the Herblock helicopter reproducedwhich implied a President sublimely aloof to relevant issuesis effectively grounded by TIME'S down-to-earth reporting.
A. F. BALLBACH JR.
Minister
First Baptist Church Oneonta, N.Y.
Sir:
Challenging Eisenhower's patience, a journalist dared ask him a provocative question re helicopters and golf. The inquisitor got a cold but polite answer. It would be good to prevent that fellow from participating in these press conferencesat least to persuade him to stop asking questions below the level of dignified journalism.
B. A. RZESZOTARSKI Wilmington, Del.
What Randolph Said
Sir:
You state in your April 1 Press section, in the course of a friendly and otherwise accurate reference to my book, What I Said About the Press, that there were "few magazine comments on the book." Reviews have been published in Truth, the Spectator, the Listener, the New Statesman and Nation, Tribune, Time &Tide, Candour, the Economist and the Times Literary Supplement.
RANDOLPH S. CHURCHILL
Chairman
Country Bumpkins Ltd.* East Bergholt, Suffolk, England.
Images of Nasser
Sir:
TIME [April 1] is quite correct in stating that "Western badgering and blustering is apt only to enhance the fanatic image of Nasser as champion of the Arabs." The U.S. policy of talking softly but cutting off Egypt's dollar income is much better than Britain's overexcited, frustrated yelps of outrage toward Egypt and the U.S.
HANNO WEISBROD Hollywood
Sir:
Your magazine is full of distortions and prejudices against President Nasser. He is the hero of all the Arabs, and your name-calling is antagonizing them. Do not blame them if they turn to Russia for friendship.
GHAZI KHANKAN Los Angeles
Sir:
It is hard to understand why we have treated Nasser so gently. He ought to pay the entire cost of clearing the canal.
LOUISE KAUTZ
Washington, D.C.
Sir:
