...Setting the Record Straight ? In "A Literary Score," our People item about British soccer player David Beckham, referred to his "famous left foot" [April 19].

Without them, the game suffers noticeably. The device normally carried by one player, which forces the group to stay within its sphere (thus fostering a sense of togetherness), is a complete nuisance in single player mode. Spell and item combinations become tedious when performed alone. There’s little plot to speak of, providing enough to explain your purpose of being there and leaving the rest...
