Published Today
I am published today in the Letters Section of the New York Times (Monday, Nov. 2, Page A16).
I wrote this letter last Monday in response to an article about local Chinese officials who passed an ordinance which forces schoolchildren to stop and SALUTE *every car* that passes-by as they walk to school. The rationale of the Chinese officials is that this order makes it "safer" for the children and also "teaches them courtesy."
The Editor has given my letter the title: "Imposing Rules on Kids." It's in the actual paper and also on the web.
I don't know if this link will get you there -- not sure if one must sign-up first -- but here's the online Letters page with the headline to click:

(Of course it is published under my real name, which I rarely use online.)
