Letters: Sep. 15, 1967
Grains of Sand
Sir: An excellent cover story on an excellent actressSandy Dennis [Sept. 1]. Aside from her abundant talent, it is reassuring to know that there are those in an often maligned profession who refuse to demean either themselves or their vocations by using popular opinion as a constant beacon. Mrs. Mulligan serves as a rare illustration of the fact that those with sufficient will, intelligence, sensitivity and courage have little need to compromise themselves to succeed.

Sir: Whether it be on the stage or onscreen, Sandy Dennis projects a quiet power, a profound dramatic intensity that overwhelms.

Sir: I just stuttered and fluttered, wrinkled my chin and pushed my hair back, then, wiping the spittle from the corner of my mouth, belted out a huge belch, after which I let out a four-letter oath; I gasped and bit my lip; my tongue twitched. Then unable to contain myself any longer, I talentedly threw up!

Sir: Ted Sorensen's remarks, quoted in your article about another talented Nebraska performer, remind me of the Nebraskan who died after moving to California. They brought his body to Lincoln for burial and one of his old lady friends, taking a last look at him in the casket, was heard to say: "Doesn't he look just fine! It sure did him a lot of good to move to California!"

Sir: Bravo to Boris Chaliapin for the cover drawing! Only a master draftsman such as he could produce this delightfully pleasing and interesting work of art.

Views of the V.C.
Sir: "The Organization Man" [Aug. 25] is an outstanding example of factual, in-depth reporting. Please accept my compliments for an objective and accurate description of that elusive enemy, the Viet Cong. The success of our military operations in Viet Nam is dependent in large measure upon the support and confidence of an informed public. Perceptive articles such as this provide a valuable service to the nation and to your reading public.

Sir: Your picture of the Viet Nam War is the clearest 1 have yet read. The sooner we get out of Viet Nam the better. Viet Nam is for the Vietnamese, north and south. It is not for the French, the Japanese, the Chinese or the Russians. It is certainly of no value to the U.S., 6,000 miles away. We are only tolerated there by the generals who could not stay in power without us.
