Dr. Alexandra Levine: Caring, Humanistic Physician
To the Editor:
It was my great fortune to have been a patient of Dr. Levine. There is no more caring and supportive individual and she was totally responsible for giving me the courage and strength to tackle my condition. I have not seen Dr. Levine in many years but have always missed her care and friendship and never found an equal to this day. It is with great pleasure that I see her extraordinary skills being recognized and appreciated.

A Glimpse into the Imprisonment of Jean Harris
To the Editor:
Regrettably, this article hits closer to home than I care to admit.  My baby sister has been sentenced to serve 12 years in jail and has been transferred to the Bedford Correctional Facility in NY. Like Jean Harris, she came from a middle-class environment with good family values. A second of insanity is all it took to change the course of her life and all those associated with her. I shudder at the thought of what her life is like behind those walls. I only pray that my sister is able to sustain her sanity and emerge with the grace and dignity that Jean Harris has possessed and displayed.

An Interview with Preston Robert Tisch

To the Editor:
I have corresponded with Bob Tisch since we first met at Paradise Island Hotels & Villas in the 60s. He asked me how to improve the Hotel and I gave him a long list and it was implemented the next day! I complained that unescorted women at the Americana Hotel [old name] nightclub were put behind a brass rail [as if they were all hookers.] He changed the policy the next day.
My friend Silas Seadler moved into a new Tisch Building at 58 West 58th Street, and he gave his old friend 6 months free rent! I have always admired Bob Tisch for his generosity, forward vision and his sympathy for women’s lib in the 60s. I love the article and I am putting it in my scrapbook. Thanks!

Rikers High: A Filmmaker’s View of Prison Education
To the Editor:
This film sounds very educational and I’d like to find out when it will be aired or if it will be released nationwide on screen or on video/DVD?
