Evenhandedness

As readers, we have a propensity to hurl brickbats more often than encomiums. One suspects that Howard Rosenberg will receive plenty of the former, from at least two directions, for his review of “Terrorist on Trial: The United States vs. Salim Ajami,” the CBS television drama on terrorism in the Middle East (“Arab Image in Fact and Fiction,” Jan. 8).

His review impressed this reader with its obvious attempt to be fair-minded and evenhanded. Furthermore, he succeeded admirably.
