Your Letters  The Chronicle is publishing only excerpts of letters about President Bill Clinton and Special Counsel Kenneth Starr's report to Congress due to the sheer volume of letters received.

Men and women have affairs every day in America. Sadly, but truthfully, it is almost as common as apple pie. What makes this particular affair stand out is the media. Were President Clinton a married man having an affair outside the eyes of the media, it would not even have fazed us. ...

Our children should learn their moral values from their parents, teachers and church leaders, not from television. It is the parent's responsibility to decide what their children view on television.

As far as what is an absolute right or wrong, there are none. Each child is different and what is right or wrong for that child will inevitably vary depending on gender, age, religious background, etc., whether we like it or not. ...
