- I am outraged by your cover (June 12) showing a human body
- in a pool of blood in China. This followed the bloody picture
- of the stormy aftermath of the elections in Panama (May 22).
- Must you use such images to sell magazines?

- Photographs may reveal fact and truth, but I must remind
- you that children see the covers of newsmagazines. I'm afraid
- to look at TIME's next cover if the brutal chaos continues.

- Even after hours of television broadcasts of events in
- Beijing, including the massacre of students, your June 12 cover
- grabbed my emotions and pulled out a response of anguish I had
- not felt before. If others experienced similar revulsion at the
- slaughter of the best and brightest of China's youth, your
- selection -- however shocking -- was appropriate.
