...football during a time when dirty play has become acceptable. Defenders such as Materazzi are skillful in their own right, but they have also mastered the black arts that disfigure the game.

Dee Gauss Kaiserslautern, Germany Italian Clown Why publish a story on the satirical political chat show hosted by Italy's most popular entertainer, Adriano Celentano, when there are so many more important things going on in Italy and Europe [Nov. 7]? I have appreciated Celentano for many years. I like his songs...
