Reader: I was very disturbed about the bullying article. As a teacher of a couple of the students, I can attest they are exceptional young men. They're typically well-behaved and, since they don't have a pattern of bullying, it must have been a prank gone wrong. So why, with all the possible topics on our national economic, political and social crises, did you publish this on the front page?

Reader: In the March 3 Californiana headline reads, "Could This Gun Kill You?" Maybe it's just me, but what kind of headline is that?

Reader: I was impressed with James Geluso's story last Sunday on city pensions. I found it to be well-researched and for the most part, unbiased. I also found it curious that it was published on the eve of a critical council vote on whether or not to sign a labor contract with its police officers, a contract that is almost two years overdue.

Reader: Lois Henry's recent column labeled respected air quality studies "hooey." I used to think Ms. Henry was hip, courageous and bright. Now I think a better description would be, at the very best, naive, irresponsible and rather dim.
