E-Pluribus The following messages were received via electronic mail in response to our announcement that Entertainment Weekly has created an E-mailbox for computer correspondence (see notice at the bottom of the next page):
) I would never have taken pen to paper to let you know how great I think your magazine is, but now here you are on-line (or almost anyway). I'm really looking forward to seeing how you'll present yourself here. Your mag keeps me ahead of the crowd. Brian Floyd Portland, Ore. BrianF2376Aol.com
Since everyone is entering this information highway, I'm really glad you've found the on-ramp too. EW is an excellent magazine for the latest in media news. And for us college students, it's a weekly constant that assures our mailboxes won't always be empty. Amy Liu Evanston, Ill. princessMerle.acns.nwu.edu
Thanks for including your E-mail address in the Mail section. This is much easier than printing something out and sticking a stamp on it! Yvonne A. Jocks Euless, Tex.
I have been reading EW for several years now, and though I may not agree with everything written, you are a first-class entertainment mag. Charles Acklin Cincinnati CARN2276Aol.com
I've often seen the computer revolution compared to television-look how crazy our parents got when they got the chance to see moving pictures in their own homes. It seems the country, if not the world, is experiencing the same sort of hysteria over a new medium. The truth is, a computer is about 6,000 times more useful than a television, and its uses haven't even begun to be explored. Your Multimedia section is extremely helpful. Computers are quick, and so is change. I'm just glad your magazine is keeping up. Stephen Roome Simi Valley, Calif. 74031.2236Compuserve.com

Thank you for being the best movie reviewers around. It's nice to know I'm not the only person in America who thinks Forrest Gump was just okay. Liza Stavchansky Austin, Tex. LizaStavUtxvms.cc.utexas.edu
Wood 'n' Head
Should not the title of your article on Ed Wood have read "The Man. Who? Wood! B King!" as opposed to "The Man, Wood: Who? B King!" Your version is more correct in terms of grammar, but with respect to the obvious play on words to The Man Who Would Be King, it just does not quite make it. Sally Reid Allentown, Pa.
After reading the great articles in your magazine, I often return for a second look at the headlines. They are usually the most clever parts of your always- entertaining weekly. A recent standout: "The Man, Wood: Who? B King!" Kudos to the bright minds inflicting this wonderful pun-ishment. Charles Westbrook Lithonia, Ga. XVCS29AProdigy.com
Don't Throw 'Stones'
David Browne's review of Mary Chapin Carpenter's new album, Stones in the Road, was a bit harsh. It seems obvious that Browne did not listen to the intricacies of the songs. Mary Chapin Carpenter is the voice of thirtysomething women, especially single women. There is nothing overambitious about the album as it reflects the evolution of the artist. Mary Chapin Carpenter is an original. She should be applauded for allowing herself to grow. Patti Jensen Bozeman, Mont. PatsharkAol.com
