FIRST CRUISE

Pat H. Broeske’s article on Tom Cruise (“Cruise-ing in the Media Stratosphere,” May 25) refers to “the cover of Interview (his first ‘official’ cover, if you discount his countless teen-magazine fronts).”

So what are we--chopped liver?

My cover story on Tom Cruise ran in Moviegoer in December, 1985, well before the current deluge of stories on the actor.

And, for the record, Moviegoer is not a teen magazine. It’s a national film monthly with a controlled circulation of 1.2 million and an estimated readership of 3 million.

So there.
