AN EYE FOR AN EYE? The choice regarding Timothy Mc-Veigh is not between mercy and vengeance but between mercy and justice ("Should Mc-Veigh Die?," U. S. Affairs, June 16). Vengeance is based on anger and getting even. But justice seeks a fair and appropriate penalty for the offense. The premeditated killing of 168 innocent people calls for a severe punishment. Mercy may be an appropriate response, but to suggest the death penalty is vengeance rather than justice is shallow and blind. Kenneth McGarvey Pierceton, Indiana
In a 10-to-12-inch frying pan over medium heat, toast nuts until golden, about 10 minutes; shake often. Remove from pan; set aside. Increase heat to medium-high. Add oil and butter to pan; brown half the chicken at a time; this takes about 10 minutes total. Discard fat from pan. Return chicken and nuts to pan; add olives, 5 sage leaves, and water. Simmer, covered, over medium-low heat until meat is no longer pink at bone (cut to test), about 25 minutes. If made ahead, let cool, cover, and chill until next day. Return to simmering, covered, over medium heat. Garnish with sage leaves. Makes 8 servings.
What makes us think we have the right to play God and take a human life? We were put on this earth to love and take care of people, not to condemn them to death. What good will it do to kill McVeigh? Is it to give people the satisfaction of saying "We got him real good"? I don't understand what's wrong with life imprisonment without parole. I wish the United States would stop killing people as a form of justice. Sarah Shonyo Rochester, Minnesota

THE REAL THING
(Puccamp 98) It can be inferred from both letters that: a) Mr. McGarvey does not agree with Ms. Shonyo, who hopes McVeigh will be condemned to death. b) Ms. Shonyo does not agree with Mr. McGarvey, who believes the death penalty is justice. c) both writers agree that life imprisonment without parole would be the most appropriate penalty for McVeigh's premeditated murder of 168 innocent people. d) both writers agree that McVeigh should be sentenced to death. e) as Ms. Shonyo believes we don't have the right to condemn people to death, she agrees with Mr. McGarvey, who is sure mercy is the best response in McVeigh's case.
Great news from Coca-Cola. Special promotional cans of the famous drink will be slipping unnoticed on to the shelves in between ordinary cans of Coke. The special cans feel like the real thing. They slosh around appropriately. But, lucky winner, just as you are about to take a swig of cool fizzy cola, you find you have won a can containing a portion of undrinkable liquid and instructions about how to claim your prize. 421 ( Ufes 96) A lata de Coca-Cola promocional é diferente porque: a) comporta mais líquido. b) contém uma bebida intragável. c) é mais econômica. d) possui um novo rótulo.
