Armstrong-See COLORADO WHINING Regarding "A Drop of Wine, a Lack of Sense --- and How" (Meanwhile, June 5) by Richard Cohen: I had to shake my head in amazement when I read that a Colorado school principal had been demoted because he allowed a group of teenagers to have a sip of wine with a meal during a class trip to Paris. How can someone who declares that "the laws of that country"---France---"mean nothing to me" be superintendent of a school district? What did he send the youngsters to France for in the first place --- to have Big Macs, drink Coke and visit Disneyland? P. ARMSTRONG-SEE. Grevinge, Denmark. - --- Checked-by: (Joel W. Johnson)
