A very important e-mail:

Dear Mr. Podhoretz,
Iam not a member of any task force, but I am an
individual gay citizen, and I was shocked and offended
by the ignorance of your “Initiate the Self-Destruct
Sequence!” post.
You wrote: “Patrick Stewart was undoubtedly the finest
actor (wth the exception of Alec Guinness in ‘Star
Wars’ and Ralph Richardson in ‘Logan’s Run’) ever to
trod the boards in science fiction”. How dare you,
sir! How DARE you ignore Academy Award winner Miss
Joan Crawford’s stunning and devastating performance
as “Dr. Brockton” in the 1970 masterpiece TROG!!!
