Dr. Zivot has a great deal of insight regarding baby Josiah but it doesn't help (Baby's status as human is on trial, Feb. 19). There is a definitive end-point to life, but modern physicians either don't know it or don't know how to use it. Native healers including those among the Sawi of West Irian know it and use it. Early Christians recognized it.
Regarding Bill Rambo's letter (Road to hell, Feb. 17), criticizing Dr. Gifford-Jones' article A law to sterilize repeat F.A.S. mothers? (Feb. 12). Rambo blew a simple and sensible idea out of proportion.

By examining the American and Canadian reactions to two high-profile post-Cold War issues that captured the attention of the public and officials in both countries, this paper illustrates how the different identities and their associated ideas and values translate into unique perceptions, distinct norms, and thus, policies. Wylie demonstrates that the American and Canadian perceptions of and reactions to the Brothers to the Rescue shoot-down in 1996, and to the renewed speculation that Castro's regime is involved in terrorism in 2002-2003, are based on two particular sets of assumptions that are rooted in the two identities.
