I'M OUTRAGED that the word 'rape' was left out of the headline ' 'Train people' of Yugoslavia tell of torture and murder'. Clearly you don't regard rape as a serious crime.

Can we have less sexist language in your paper? I'm sick of reading 'men, women and children' and men's side of the story first, all the time. Even old men are rated more important than women. Let's have 'women, children and men' and women's side of the story first, please.
