"War and Peace on Vietnam Film Front" (by Daniel Cerone, April 29) included comments by actress Kieu Chinh, a technical adviser on "War Story," quoted as saying: "I am careful to make sure Vietnamese are presented accurately.

As a board member of the Assn. of Asian Pacific American Artists (AAPAA), an organization working to improve the image of Asian-Americans in the media as well as speaking out on issues regarding the Asian-American acting community, I feel another, more pervasive viewpoint should be heard.
