Lindsay Wagner
The Bionic Woman had me believing that all Lindsay Wagner could do was run in slow motion. But Scruples certainly changed my mind (PEOPLE, March 3). This is one fine lady, refreshing and talented.

Lindsay Wagner "comes on strong in Scruples," your cover said. Baloney. The show was stolen out from under her bionic nose by Barry Bostwick (Spider) and Marie-France Pisier (Valentine). It was the chemistry between these two actors that kept people watching, and talking about the mini-series at the office coffee breaks.

Money corrupts. Ah indeed it does, my little chickadee. Given the options of $5 million or washing one's dirty linen in public, why would anyone choose the latter? Apparently, Cristina doesn't know that although money can buy just about anything, dignity isn't one of them.

I could not continue reading the issue without first expressing my joy in the activities of Bill Sample and his Sunshine Foundation. Pain and suffering are facts of life. But one fact so often overlooked amidst the turmoil of today is that love, compassion and generosity still exist. May the sun always shine for Bill, his volunteers and their beneficent endeavor.

Never in my life have I been so moved as by your story about Bill and Helene Sample who make the wishes of sick children come true. When I think of their compassion and effort, it is clear that theirs is the genius of love. Please give an address for the Sunshine Foundation. Surely many besides myself wish to contribute.

The address is 5212 Glen loch St., Philadelphia, Pa. 19124 (telephone 215-743-2660). The Samples report they have received phone calls and letters from Canada, Australia and all over the U.S. from people who want to donate their time and money or set up chapters in their communities. "It's just a godsend," says Bill Sample.

Your story on the strange-names collector was super. I never knew there were others like me. Tell Iva Odor and Katz Meow I'd like to meet them sometime.

I wonder if John Train knows of the girl who attended my high school named June Wedding. Or my mother's old girlfriend, Iona Ford. Names are fascinating. Take it from a former Jones girl.

Dan Rather
"Sex replacing trust at CBS"? I would hardly call Dan Rather an airhead with a pretty face. Why shouldn't a hardworking journalist be easy to look at? Admit it. Rather earned the job.

The news is bad enough, but to have it hammered at us every evening with that Dan Rather intensity would be more than we could stand. Wherever you go, Roger Mudd, it's only a turn of the dial, and we'll be with you all the way.

I cringed to think what Hollywood might do to one of my favorite books. When I saw the film, I was thrilled by Coppola's splendid accomplishment.

Bruce Jenner
My separation from Chrystie is the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Unfortunately, your readers were given a different impression (Feb. 18). Perhaps under different circumstances, a more accurate picture would have emerged. However, your reporter showed up at Daytona during a very grueling and dangerous 24-hour endurance race in which total concentration is required. In addition, I have always found it difficult to express my most personal feelings to strangers. Given everything Chrystie and I shared, including the birth of our son and the imminent birth of our second child, to suggest that I am feeling no pain is as unfair to her as it is to me.
