      that

      Many

      Dear
      Editor,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      must
      question
      an
      interesting
      phenomenon
      that
      I
     
     
      discovered
      in
      the
      course
      of
      my
      experience
      with
      the
      X-
     
     
      Press.
      Ido
      appreciate
      the
      paper
      for
      giving
      me
      the
     
     
      opportunity
      to
      make
      my
      voice
      heard,
      and
      congratulate
     
     
      it
      for
      the
      diversity
      of
      opinion
      it
      has
      permitted;
      but
      I
     
     
      am
      curious
      about
      the
      implications
      of
      the
      following:
     
     
      When
      I
      planned
      the
      supplement
      for
      this
      week’s
      X-
     
     
      Press,
      I
      was
      told
      that
      it
      would
      not
      be
      fair
      to
      have
      a
     
     
      Christian
      supplement,
      since
      that
      would
      be
      biased,
     
     
      giving
      unequal
      opportunity
      to
      a
      single
      point
      of
      view.
     
     
      In
      order
      to
      receive
      publication,
      I
      would
      have
      to
      sim
     
     
      ply
      be
      part
      ofa
      general
      Religious
      Supplement,
      includ-
     
     
      ing
      several
      other
      points
      of
      view.
      That
      was
      notan
     
     
      unreasonable
      request
      for
      you
      to
      make.
      My
      article
      on
     
     
      pluralism
      (see
      the
      Supplement
      in
      this
      issue)
      should
     
     
      reassure
      you
      that
      lam
      notangry
      orresentful
      that
      |
     
     
      did
      not
      receive
      exclusive
      treatment;
      and
      that
      neither
     
     
      did
      I
      actually
      expect
      to
      receive
      the
      opportunity
      to
     
     
      voice
      only
      my
      own
      point
      of
      view.
      Lamcurious,
     
     
      therefore,
      as
      to
      why
      such
      requirements
      were
