Your assistance in soliciting these donations is very valuable to us, if it wasn't for people like you then donations would be much less than they are now.

New York There has been a 20% reduction in the number of smokers amongst teenagers over the last 5 years according to a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. I his has been attributed to an increase in television, newspaper and magazine ads directed toward young people which educate them on the health risks associated with smoking. There also have been improved anti- smoking educational materials developed for school programs, and these have also helped to reduce smoking in teens. A large part of these plans has been paid by settlements reached between state governments and tobacco companies in lawsuits brought within the last decade. A total of $306 billion dollars has been paid by the tobacco companies.

To: Young Weekly Editor Sub: Serious Problem Date: Tue. Mar 12, 2006 I have been a long-time, avid reader o f your magazine and I am well aware o f the fact that you jump at any chance to show celebrities, whether they are drinking coffee, going to the gym, or shopping for groceries. O f course, I understand that without these kind o f pictures and information about the daily lives o f famous stars, your magazine would not be the kind of magazine it is now. It is true that I do not think it is such a good idea to have spreads on celebrities with serious eating disorders and treat them as i f there s nothing wrong with them. It doesn't seem as if you are very concerned about what kind o f standard body image you are projecting to your readers. I occasionally enjoy looking at other paparazzi pictures. But an otherwise interesting article, Eating Healthy Meals *by Nicole Watts+, was ruined by the inclusion o f ridiculous paparazzi pictures. There are several reasons I was displeased by this. First o f all, there were no pictures whatsoever related to the articles main topic, nutrition. Anyone can tell you that pictures o f healthy meals should have been included. Perhaps a picture o f the tofu salad recommended as a nutritious low-caloric meal would have been appropriate. Second, the pictures you did choose to include were not only irrelevant, but also going against the point o f the article. The article itself doesn't mention fast food at all, yet somehow a picture o f stick- thin Ashley Berliner having french fries for lunch found its way between columns? Save the shots o f Ashley for your fashion section, because when it comes to my health, Ashley is the last person on my mind. from Indiana To: Indiana Sub: [Re] Serious Problem Date: Thurs. Mar 14, 2006 Dear Indiana. We are sorry to hear that you thought the choice o f photographs in the article Eating Healthy Meals" was inappropriate. We apologize for any distress it may have caused you. A new issue has already come out on stands since you m ailed us y o u r letter, so unfortunately we arc unable to make any corrections. However, we w ill be issuing a statement regarding the photographs in our next issue. We hope that you continue to subscribe to our magazine. Thank you.
