Re “Why Women Quit Science,” by A. Hope Jahren (Sunday Review, March 6):

As I enter the scientific field as a female college biology student, I should not have to worry about drawing professional boundaries between myself and colleagues. I should not have to worry about unwanted sexual advances by superiors. I should not have to worry about advancing my own career solely through my appearance and actions. But I do.

The intimidation of women in the scientific field is far too unrecognized. Women shouldn’t have to worry about how a response to an email can harm their career with the rejection of an unwanted advance. Time is better spent on research or in a lab, not within the confines of the judicial court of a university, where a tormentor will not be brought to justice.

William Kristol is coming around. He admits that Donald Trump is "the likely nominee," though he stupidly thinks that Trump will have a hard time defeating Hillary Clinton. (Trump will demolish Clinton.) Get right with Donald, Bill, before it's too late.

Three of a Perfect Pair (1984).

Supporters of Donald Trump are playing a game of chicken with the Republican establishment. Trump supporters are expecting establishment types to clamber aboard the Trump bandwagon rather than (1) form a third party, (2) support Hillary Clinton, or (3) stay home on election day. Establishment types (such as George Will) are expecting Trump supporters to abandon him for an establishment candidate rather than (1) form a third party, (2) support Hillary Clinton, or (3) stay home on election day. In other words, each side expects the other to give in. If I had to guess, I'd say that Trump supporters are less likely than establishment types to veer off the road. It's going to be an interesting summer, that's for sure.

Re “Apple Battle Strikes Nerve” (news analysis, front page, March 14): Privacy? People post personal details of their daily life to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube; our Internet searches are tracked and sold; the government tracks the senders and recipients of email; it can ask libraries for a list of books we’ve checked out; we are watched by an ever-increasing array of surveillance cameras; with a judge’s warrant, the police can track our movements, tap our phones, even come into our homes and rummage through every drawer. Yet when the F.B.I., with a warrant, asks to look into the phone of a dead terrorist, Apple puts up a furious row.

The fact that Apple has won over much of the public—the same public that seems perfectly happy to have its daily activity, interests, opinions and contacts accessible to all the world—as well as most privacy advocates, who seem to have done little to stem the increasing corporate invasion of privacy, makes Apple’s efforts to block access to Syed Farook’s phone look like the marketing exercise that the Justice Department claims it is. And like most of Apple’s marketing campaigns, it is a highly successful one. We have become a nation of sheep, and Silicon Valley is our shepherd.
