Newsweek

[PW2]

I just want to reccomend the latest issue of Newsweek magazine. It is dedicated to correspondence home from American soldiers who were later killed in combat.

It attempts to refrain from a political statement, and whatever your point of view on this war, there is something in it for you.

But it appears to be real, and it certainly is powerful.

It attempts to refrain from a political statement

While I think this is impossible, as simply the letter selection process cannot be neutral, I am very interested. If somehow it is neutral, and I sincerely hope so, I am sure it will be meaningful. I will seek it out.

Re: Newsweek

The editor, Jon Meachum, specifically noted in his "Editor's Notes" column that they specifically tried to avoid a political statement. I take him at his word.

However, you all know I have a political point of view, and it did not change my mind.

Whatever your politics, I can't imagine reading these and being unmoved.

I dont have to read any of it....I am already moved. And I was steeled in this countrys resolve when the towers fell. Thanks just the same.
