LETTERS, Page 8Sobering Images
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.
