FACTS FROM THE STACKS
Congrats to Nat Hentoff and the Voice for running the series about the ALA's cowardice ["A U.S. Librarian Defends Castro," January 7-13]. It will be a black mark on my profession for a hundred years—just as the McCarthy era was for Hollywood. Librarians who have been fighting against computer filtering and Bush-created rules of control, via the Patriot Acts, have failed to stand up for their colleagues in Cuba. Many librarians do not support this cowardice, including myself, a 25-year librarian working at a state library commission. All of us anti-Castro librarians will be glad when the ALA reverses its position.

Paul Getty Trust, offers mid-career journalists new perspectives on arts criticism. Fellows travel to Los Angeles for a three-week stay, meeting with local artists and the heads of cultural institutions.
