UNDER THE BANNER

Walter Mosley gratuitously interjects his naive political agenda--”The realities of our world are AIDS, the disappearing ozone layer, nuclear proliferation and the disintegration of old empires”--into his review of “Native Stranger” by Eddy L. Harris (March 1).

That puerile statement puts Mosley’s judgment into question, and judgment is the banner under which a reviewer marches.
