    Great Letters

    I loved the letter (and responses) to the young woman who wanted to know why her

    friends wouldn't just shut up and let her die (and maybe you could include the entire letter if space would permit). A follow up on how she is doing would also be welcome.

    I also recall a letter from a woman whose husband was a professor, with (what she perceived to be) snooty, intellectual friends, and she was convinced that he was going to cheat on her with one of his graduate students.

    Also, your response to yesterday's letter writer was really quite wonderful.
