*REDUNCULOUS* You open with a subheading, ???Guarantee: you will be surprised???. Why would YOU say such a thing? Nothing, I repeat, nothing, surprised me throughout this article. I must admit that I appreciate your bringing the study to print in a popular magazine, but that???s where my complements stop. Am I really to expect that bleach-white carbohydrates, excessively stored fats/energy, a diet focused on animal proteins, or weight control and exercise are Something NEW in the research detailing healthy living? Seriously? What WOULD surprise me is if you exposed the reasons behind these foods. If nothing else I thank you for saving me from wasting my time reading a 240+ page confirmation that the American lifestyle is not one for optimal conception. While I admire our Harvard researchers for affirming this, I also rebuke your staff for simplifying these common sense practices into a lengthy five page article.

Developing New Photography
The fact that photography today is different from when it first began doesn't mean it is a dying art ("Is Photography Dead?" Dec. 10). How encouraging that we can still appreciate the old black-and-whites while finding room for new manipulated digitals and welcoming whatever else creative minds can envision.

Photography is alive and flourishing in our national parks and wilderness areas, from alpine mountains to desert canyons to ocean shorelines. No amount of digital manipulation or fabrication can improve on the extraordinary beauty that already exists in the natural world. As photographers, all we can do is try to capture it.

Correction
In "The Future of Reading" (Nov. 26), we misattributed the source of a 2004 study which reported that only 57 percent of adults read a book in a year. The National Endowment for the Arts produced the "Reading at Risk" report. NEWSWEEK regrets the error.
