Another product for yak farmers
In response to: In the Republic of Vermont
By John Eliassen ’57
Published in the July 15, 2009, issue
As the husband of an avid knitter, I know that yak fur can be spun into a specialty yarn. The lack of any mention of Rob and Kate Williams ’89 taking advantage of this product (feature, June 10) was disappointing. I guess the yak-farming lead is just an attention-getter for the...
Yak story omitted alumnus' name

I was disturbed by the letter of R.H. van Fossen Jr. ’63 (Feb. 11), with its implied claims to universal Truth. I should, in the interest of full disclosure, state that I am a secular humanist concerned with maintaining religious values but without supernatural claims. As...
Debating Taiwan's independence
In response to: China and Taiwan
By Ronald Chen ’90
Published in the July 15, 2009, issue
In response to George Costow ’04 (letters, June 10), I have no idea how his remarks contribute to the discussion of Taiwan’s independence. My original letter was an argument against Thomas Corwin ’62’s statement (letters, March 4) that “Taiwan’s independence can make no sense.”...
