*By Cecillia Rosenthal*

(Re: “SMDP letters are ‘voice of the people’”, letters, Dec. 14) I pride myself on thoroughly investigating matters that interest me before making a decision. Proof of this — I enlisted in World War II, but in no wars that followed. (I would have joined a war to protect Tibet from China — and prayed that oil would be discovered there.) As proof that I still listen to the “other side,” I did read Mr. Cooper’s letter. I am very glad I did, because his suggestion of a weekly article instead of letter was a wonderful idea.

Thank you, Ms. April-Ross, for also reading letters on the “other side.” I hope you learn the truth from them.
