To Whom It May Concern:
	I am writing to you regarding the May 18th episode of
Northern Exposure.  Bravo!  I rarely watch television, but I make a
special effort to watch your show, and last night was more than worth
the trouble.  I was impressed with your directness.  Roslyn and
Cicely were involved emotionally, romantically, and spiritually, and
they made an extraordinary effort to create a life for themselves
where this would not be held against them.  And you, CBS and the
show's writers, actors and producers, did not beat around the
euphemisms and pretend that Roslyn and Cicely might be something
other than in love with one another.  No, your show had a sense of
humour, and a sense of honesty.  Two things that go together well, I
might add.
	I write to applaud your lovely and even somewhat realistic
portrayal of two women and a town, together fighting prejudice,
narrow-mindedness and oppression.  I realize that there are risks in
putting frank portrayals of lesbians on television, and therefore I
also applaud your bravery, and the courage of your commercial
sponsors as well.  This one show does a great deal to enhance your
reputations as socially progressive and responsible corparate
citizens.

	Thank you again,
	

	Victoria I. Streiff
