LETTERS, Page 8". . . And furthermore, I don't like . . ."
Of the roughly 50,000 letters we get each year, about 1%
criticize TIME on various points. In the last ten months of 1988,
we received 336 letters of reproach that were not aimed at specific
stories. There were 26 letters complaining of bias of one sort or
another, 16 claiming that there was a decline in quality of writing
or news coverage, 4 that we were pornographic, 16 that we were too
liberal, 3 that we were too American, 104 decrying the high number
of ads, 92 specifically annoyed by the quantity of cigarette and
liquor ads, and 75 miscellaneous complaints -- TIME's print is too
small, the ink smears too easily, "blow-in" cards make flipping
through the magazine like "opening a garbage can."
