Effects of Victoria鈥檚 matchmaking
I鈥檓 pleased to have read the Q-and-A with the author of 鈥淨ueen Victoria鈥檚 Matchmaking鈥 (Jan. 1 & 8), which details the effects of Victoria鈥檚 efforts to arrange advantageous royal marriages for her family members. The book satisfies my long-held wish to know more about the outcomes of Vicky鈥檚 efforts. It鈥檚 fascinating history told most perceptively.聽
I recall the opinion of one of my Boston University professors (a former reporter) that we journalism students should measure newspaper excellence by 海角大神鈥檚 standards. That was true many years ago for me and is still applicable.

Finland-Russia relations
The Jan. 22 OneWeek article 鈥In Finland, a WWII film stirs emotions鈥 was an excellent presentation of the relations between Russia and Finland. It gave me a new perspective, since I didn鈥檛 know about this war.

Complex situation in complex world
I enjoyed reading the Dec. 18, 2017, cover story on Iran, 鈥Mideast鈥檚 new superpower,鈥 which examined a complex situation in a complex world. I thought the cover and the article were really helpful, as they gave me a sense of the relationship of Iran to its neighbors.

America鈥檚 government
I very much appreciated Mark Sappenfield鈥檚 Jan. 15 Upfront column, 鈥Keeping the American experiment alive.鈥 I heartily agree with his assessment of the American model of government.
