To the Editor: Dr Rothstein begins his May 1992 Editor's Note referring to the "diversity" within physical therapy curricula. Not only are curricula diverse, but opinions even more so. Dr Rothstein has expressed his opinion concerning entry-level student research, and we now welcome this opportunity to express ours. Obviously, the airing of diverse opinions in open forum is good for a field, and we commend Dr Rothstein for beginning this dialogue, even though we disagree with much of what he states. First, Dr Rothstein paints the situation with a very wide brush and therefore overlooks some of the very diversity that he alludes to. He writes, for example, about "entry-level research projects" as if all entry-level curricula are the same (which they are not). Is it proper to "lump," for example, a 2-year entry-level baccalaureate curriculum with a 3-year entry-level master's degree curriculum?...
