...appreciated the scope of your reporting. But as a geriatric-care manager, I couldn't help noticing the lack of information about the elderly. I have witnessed wildly happy romances between men and women in their 80s and 90s, even those with physical difficulties or dementia. My hope is that we can drop any archaic stigmas about this phase of life and ?realize that it is never too late for love and companionship. Ellen D. Waldman, Ashland, Oregon...
...Italy's Political Garbage Jeff Israely's article "A Dearth of Courage" depicted quite well the meanness and shortsightedness of Italian politicians [Feb. 4].

The last center-left government not only did nothing to slow the rising prices of basic commodities but also worsened the situation by increasing taxes.

Lack of focus or rustiness after the three-week exam layoff, you might say, or maybe just underestimation of a Bulldogs team unexpected to contend in the league that season. At the time, it could have seemed as though Harvard’s two-win pre-Ivy record was rearing its ugly head?...
...that Yale would be a tough opponent, but the loss was still very surprising. “We expected the match to be close, but in the end we thought we would beat them,” DiSesa said. One aspect that contributed Harvard’s loss was lack of focus. “Our guys never give up and they try very hard,” West said. “A lot of the matches could have gone either way. But I think that mentally we were weaker than Yale.” The Crimson is also...
