Doll Protesters

Your story on the Barbie doll addicts accurately revealed the problem--and it’s not Mattel’s (“Barbie Doll Protesters Aren’t Playing Around,” May 10). For many of these women, their hobby has clearly become an addiction. If a doll can’t have a bad hair day, or an adult woman can’t trust herself to enter a store without purchasing a doll, then she has greater problems than Mattel can provide.
