Which Reagan in the Running?

To the Editors:

Now that Ronald Reagan, an open antiCommunist, is in the presidential race [Nov. 24], it will be interesting to see how soon the Communists and their "useful fools" will proclaim him to be a fascist.

Ronald Reagan is the prototype American politician of the '70s: mindless, witless, positionless and worthless.

Martin Derrow, M.D.

Cincinnati

It's about time you began to realize that neither Barry Goldwater nor Ron ald Reagan is mounting "a hopeless crusade against the 20th century."

They are urging a return to the strong sense of individual responsibility that made this country great.

Reagan proposes abolishing the federal role in welfare, education, Medicaid and other essential services. The assumption that these services can be effectively provided by state and local governments is simplistic. The matter-of-fact treatment of the decrease of programs and loss of jobs is criminal.

Perhaps Ronald Reagan will be able to save us from the loud minority demands of radical feminists for free abortion for all.

President Ford does not have to worry about losing his job to Ronald Reagan if the former Governor of Califor nia maintains his stand that equal rights for women is encouraging attitudes toward sex and sex differences akin to those of dogs.

Do you really think I'll vote for a man who spends 9% hours in bed each day, puts his pajamas on at 6 p.m., lets his wife dictate how his employees will dress and whom to fire and sits around eating jelly beans all evening?

Assassination in Dallas

You copped out, TIME [Nov. 24]. You're probably as much involved in the Kennedy assassination cover-up as the CIA, FBI and Dallas police department.

Why waste your time trying to show intelligently that Oswald was J.F.K.'s lone assassin and that the Warren Report was essentially correct? People who want to believe in conspiracy theories will continue to do so because they want to believe the worst about the U.S., its institutions and its leaders.

Jerry Axelrod

Philadelphia

Although I appreciate your unequivocal "No" answer to the question of my alleged presence in Dallas at the time of J.F.K.'s murder, I would like to point out that my noninvolvement rests not only on "drastic differences" between the specimen photographs, but more conclusively upon the sworn testimony of several witnesses who confirm that I was in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 22, 1963. It is a physical law that an object can occupy only one space at one time.

Correction: I am not a Watergate "burglar," but a conspirator.
