LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Attention caught

Dürer's "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" (Oct. 4) caught the attention of the 15-year-old Russian boy who studies English with me. He spotted the skinny bones of Death and his horse and noted that one horseman, Justice, had scales swinging out behind him. I suggested that Justice is angry because he can't find anyone who measures up, and this led to a discussion about the Second Coming. He is not a believer, so thank you for your cover testimony.
—Larry Rippere; Mountain View, Calif.

If only

If the financial crisis involved only subprime loans it would be over quickly ("Anatomy of a crisis," Oct. 4). It also involved huge credit default swaps, the dropping of the firewalls between banks and brokerage firms, and other factors. We could also point fingers at the Federal Reserve, Congress, and the SEC. We are not addressing fundamental changes in taxation, energy, Medicare, Social Security and other entitlement programs, and we ignore the few voices in the wilderness like Ron Paul and Tom Coburn.
—Robert Shillingstad; Hayden, Idaho
