Re: A Glimpse into the Imprisonment of Jean Harris

To the Editor:

Jean Harris has realistically described the whole women’s prison situation accurately and has given us many insights to how we might rectify things within the prison system itself. If we followed her guidance, our prison population could actually decrease, in time!!

Re: Profiles in Education: An Interview With Ramon Cortines

To the Editor:

In my experiences as a parent in Pasadena and as a teacher in Los Angeles, I came to admire Ramon Cortines as the most approachable, conscientious administrator imaginable. I walked into his office when he was Superintendent in Pasadena and was amazed by the fact that he knew me and the teachers of each of my three new-to-the-district children. I always got answers to concerns regarding my children in Pasadena, and years later I received prompt and helpful replies to letters about my students in L.A. As is demonstrated in this interview, Mr. Cortines honestly cares about education and about children, and he has a finely-tuned sense of what is needed in every situation for every person involved, child to administrator. His is a carefully balanced mix of ivory-tower educational wisdom and get-your-hands-dirty, practical problem-pushing which has benefitted every one of his communities. May the man be rewarded at this point with honor, peace, and fulfillment of all of his dreams.

To the Editor:

I have lost touch with Ray Cortines. Could you either provide me with his e-mail, or e-mail this to him so he can respond? Thank you.

Re: What in the World is a Grip & Gaffer?

To the Editor:

I like Shane’s story, there is some good advice too. I have worked on major films for 2 years as a truck driver (facilities person), making steps to becoming an assistant grip. I live in the UK. My aim is to set up my own film support vehicle with all the jibs, track and dollys. If any one wants to get into the film game, be prepared to work long hours in sometimes cold places for free. Enjoy.

I’m doing a history day project on Nadia Comaneci. Your article was very helpful.
