lighten up, daily intel. responding to a letter to the editor isn't being "a weenie" if two out of three of the writer's complaints are really just (willful?) misreadings of your article and the third, actual misinformation. alex ross' silence about the first two speaks volumes more than his brief rebuttal to the last.
plus i agree with ross. "radical chic" struck me as mean-spirited and unfair; leonard bernstein may have ended up a kook but a casual listen to "west side story" is all it takes to figure out that he had more substance than wolfe gave him credit for. and you'd think that as a talented but out-of-touch geezer himself (sometime listen to him sneer "cohabitation" like a foreign word - it's like he's been in a coma since the seventies), tom would cut lenny a break this time around.
