Clearing the issue In your October 7 Abode supplement, you featured the ways we have been experimenting with glass in our house over a long period of time ["Lighten up"]. We wanted to point out that the complexity of the research as well as the difficulties in designing with and fabricating these glass and metal […]

Porn again Rachel Albertson betrays a unique understanding of what pornography is in her letter ["Parental advisory!!" Mailbag, September 30]. In a way it’s touching and sociologically refreshing to hear such examples of completely ingenuous Puritanism I thought only survived locally in isolated pockets of the Shenandoah Valley. Me, I hadn’t considered there was anything […]
Parental advisory!! In the September 16 issue of C-VILLE Weekly, located in the section titled GetOutNow was a picture of three nearly nude women posing for the camera wearing only underwear and a mask covering their faces. As C-VILLE is supposed to be a community newspaper for all ages, this is improper and you should […]
Premature evacuation Ted Rall can remind us that he told us so as our victory in Iraq seems ever more pyrrhic with each passing day and dead GI. But his vision loses its clarity when he advocates immediate withdrawal from Iraq ["What went wrong," AfterThought, September 9]. It would be unconscionable to leave Iraq with […]
Corrections In last week’s Fishbowl story on Greenwood Chemical Company’s continuing saga, "An unclean clean-up," one of the sources was misidentified as Irwin McCauley. His name is actually Irvin Wood. An error in last week’s GetOutNow section listed the Miller Center’s forum on "Exploring Global Fundamentalism" as taking place Friday, September 12. The correct date […]
Little lovey A Mini is a Mini is a Mini ["It’s a small world," Fishbowl, August 19]. I love my feisty little bulldog of a car! Judy Brubaker Crozet Turn a Corner As I was reading the "Best of" issue [August 5] I was struck by how unrepresented The Corner is, not only by […]

Rules of election Having perused the newly created "Rall’s Rules," it would appear under "Rall’s Rule of Ideological Counterbalance" [AfterThought, August 12] that your esteemed paper should provide equal space to publish contrasting opinions. If he cares to give it some thought, Mr. Rall might want to take economic conditions and the effect of third-party […]
Best? Worst! I enjoyed your “Best of Charlottesville” issue [August 5] very much, but to my dismay there was one superlative listed that was in extremely poor taste. You said, “Best Unsolved Mystery: The Serial Rapist.” Unless I am mistaken, “best” is an adjective that means something is the most excellent, most favorable or surpassing […]
Faulty stitching? Ace, Ace—you didn’t do your research on “mangle” [“Finding Mr. Fixit,” Ask Ace, August 5]. Apparently you confused Sparky’s Vac & Sew owner Roger Sparks since we are talking about an “ironing machine.” As I wrote to you, my mangle is the 1940s version (and you are right, it is sitting out in […]
