Kunda Dixit's column with the Shakespeare quotes ("Much ado about nothing new," #85) moved me from laughter and then to tears when I got to the part "I think our country sinks beneath the yoke It weeps, it bleeds and each new day a gash is added to her wounds."

Doesn't Kunda Dixit have a say in the ads that appear next to his column? If so, can he call off the one that extols the imagined virtues of fair skin? That ad is offensive in a journal of your quality.
