I believe the most important goal of any newspaper is to provide balanced coverage. Yet in your haste to fawn over area psychics, lending them credibility they hardly deserve, you failed to note the utter failure of psychic predictions made in 1997. For example, not one of the supermarket tabloid psychics predicted the death of Princess Diana. Nor did Jeane Dixon foresee her own death. The list of failed psychic predictions for 1997 is long indeed, yet these failures were forgotten as soon as 1998 arrived.
People have a hard enough time confusing fact with fiction.
The last thing we need is further blurring of those lines from a publication that should be providing a much-needed dose of reality. Astrology has no basis in scientific fact. Since Jack is rated PG-13, clearly it is not aimed at very young children. I'd be interested to learn of any legitimate research which concludes that a teen-age boy or girl has ever been harmed by looking at the kind of pictures shown in Penthouse and Playboy. I was disappointed to read Jane Eisner's Feb. 6 column about bringing family hour back to television.
