N2  - To the Editor:— 
    When a portion of a statement is extracted to prove one wrong, one must suspect his critic of extracted thinking. Indeed I stated that "feticide and infanticide are peculiarly Greek," but I preceded that partial statement with a careful perhaps. Furthermore, the remainder of the same sentence continues to say that ancient civilized people did not characteristically practice infanticide, but that many uncivilized Semites "and others" did so practice. Modern studies demonstrate that all Semitic peoples originated in Arabia.1 The Hebrews, the creators of the Old Testament, were originally a northwest Arabian nomadic, uncivilized people. Dr. Anagnostopoulos seems to be refusing to allow me to include the early Hebrews among pre-Islamic Semites when he remarks that I am unfamiliar with the Bible; however, the Hebrews, who gathered experiences before they could write, were not always completely civilized, nor were all the people with whom they came
