I agree entirely with William H. Longenecker's letter to the editor, which appeared in the August 1986 issue of the J ournal . I found your response to his opinion unconvincing and an attempt to sidestep the issue. The “Biodatos y Sinopsis” column is exactly what Longenecker said it is—an attempt to reach non‐English‐speaking Americans. If AWWA were interested in reaching the readership of Spanish‐speaking nations, it would publish the entire magazine in that language. (If this is not already being done, it should be considered.) I find it difficult to believe that AWWA really expects a non‐English‐speaking person to buy the entire publication for the purpose of reading a two‐page column.
