Dear Editor:
I read the article "Bridge Grand Master Lin Tung-yen" in the October issue of the Chinese-Spanish edition, and I really admire his vision and creativity. Bridges stand for exchange and communication, and the significance of a Bridge of Peace spanning two continents and linking the United States and the Soviet Union goes beyond cuts in military forces.
Sinorama's article was quoted recently in a piece in ABC Diario, the second-largest newspaper here, that had a lot of praise for Lin's plan. Everyone recognizes how significant this is now that the cold war between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. is over. It really is a case of "wise people thinking alike."

Dear Editor:
I used to read Sinorama a lot when I was in Taiwan, but after I moved to Texas two years ago I stopped subscribing and lost touch with it--until I went to see a Chinese dentist in town because of a toothache and came across someone reading it in the waiting room.
I didn't get a chance to read it then because so many people were waiting for it. The next couple of times I went back I arrived half an hour early just to have a chance to read it, but I found out that a lot of other patients had the same idea.
I'm very happy to read Sinorama again, and I hope it gains an even wider readership through this kind of "hand-to-hand circulation."

Editor's Note:
We hope you get a chance to read Sinorama the next time you go to the dentist's office. But just as a suggestion, why not subscribe and receive a copy of your own?
Dear Editor:
An article in the Potpourri section in the November issue mentioned a group in the San Francisco area called the White Aryan Resistance, or WAR, that persecutes Asians. In fact, the group also persecutes Latin Americans and blacks.
The organization is now facing bankruptcy because it has been ordered to pay damages of US$12 million for fomenting the racial hatred that led to the murder of a black worker in Oregon.
The group has been proclaiming that "Asians are stealing jobs and promotions from white people," so I wonder where they're going to come up with so much money--it's a tough problem! I just wrote to let you know.
