- LETTERS, Page 12Those Write-In Campaigns
-
- From time to time, the number and type of letters we
- receive on a particular story indicate to us that they are part
- of an organized write-in operation. Such letters do not
- generally follow a form word for word, but are so similar that
- they obviously spring from a common source. Recent write-ins
- were inspired by the topics of gun control, Surgeon General C.
- Everett Koop, and the Washington pro-choice demonstration, as
- well as a captioned photo showing cigarette smoking. Often we
- get a packet of mail from students who have written as part of
- a classroom exercise. We welcome all our letters, but in the
- case of write-ins we do take into account the fact that this
- mail is not a wholly spontaneous reaction from individual
- readers.
