...I read Michael Kearns' piece on nudity in gay theater ["Getting Undressed for the Theater," September 4-10], and my first reaction was . . . Enough already! ...
We don't really care whether he likes our prose style or the pictures we've chosen. But Mikulan's vitriolic piece denigrates the archivists, researchers and cited authors who contributed to our pop-culture exploration of fame, forensic science and the crucial services provided by the Coroner's Office. Where's his hometown pride?

KUROSAWA'S WOMEN
DEAR EDITOR:I appreciated F.X. Feeney's intelligent and thoughtful memorial to Akira Kurosawa [September 11-17], but he is in error when he describes Rhapsody in August as Kurosawa's first woman-centered film. The protagonist of The Most Beautiful, made in 1944, is a woman worker in a defense plant (Yoko Yaguchi, later Mrs. Kurosawa), and No Regrets for Our Youth (1946) stars the luminous Setsuko Hara as a privileged young woman who marries an anti-fascist student and eventually joins the peasantry to help rebuild a democratic postwar Japan.
