JACKI LYDEN, host: And now your letters.</s>JACKI LYDEN, host: We got lots of mail about Debbie Elliott's interview with brother and sister Marines Christopher and Bethany Wade a couple of weeks ago. Debbie asked them what motivated them to sign up in wartime.</s>Stuart Clipper of Minneapolis wrote of the Wade siblings: I by no means would want to take either of them to task for making the decisions they've made, but something finally did get to me. The brother professed a devout religious faith and thus felt assured about what would transpire were he to be killed in action. Well, if he does go into combat, he will be fighting young men who will likely be equally zealous about their religious beliefs.</s>Stuart Clipper of Minneapolis wrote of the Wade siblings: But Manaho Pono(ph) of Honolulu, Hawaii had a different reaction. She wrote to Debbie Elliott: You should thank God daily for the mostly conservative young men and women who volunteer to stand between us and our enemies, for they are the main thing keeping our rights, including yours as a journalist safe from those who want to proselytize us.</s>Stuart Clipper of Minneapolis wrote of the Wade siblings: Two weeks ago, when the Baltimore Ravens faced the Indianapolis Colts in a playoff game, Debbie interviewed filmmaker Barry Levinson. Levinson expressed his nostalgia for the Baltimore Colts of his youth.</s>Listener Joseph Parsons of Iowa City wrote: Missing from Barry Levinson's recounting was any mention of the manner in which the Ravens came to Baltimore. In 1996, my beloved Cleveland Browns were snatched from the city where they'd played by their owner, Art Modell, whose name is uttered with a snarl by Clevelanders to this day.</s>Listener Joseph Parsons of Iowa City wrote: If you'd like to comment on our coverage, go to our Web site, NPR.org.

Listeners write in about an interview with brother and sister Marines, and how the Ravens came to Baltimore. Plus, a Virginia listener says recent coverage of the atomic clock should have included a discussion of how ultra-precise time makes life better.
