...Also, none of the letters have mentioned that Wee Willie Keeler, the originator of "hitting 'em where they ain't," was once a coach at Harvard. In fact, William Clarence Matthews, one of Keeler's most talented charges at Harvard in 1902, almost became the first black player in the majors more than 40 years before Robinson. LEV POLINSKY, '99-'00 April...
...true Southern style, we decided to order enough food for 12. None of it proved disappointing. The veggie plate is billed as an entree, but it proved the perfect appetizer to share, offering a sample of every vegetable on the menu. Arranged artfully on the giant platter were mashed spiced yams, mashed new potatoes, light and crispy fried green tomatoes, pencilthin sweet potato fries, black-eyed peas topping cheesy grits with tomato relish, and the inevitable nods to yuppies everywhere: mesclun greens with vinaigrette and portabella mushrooms roasted with goat cheese and walnut stuffing.

But the Internet does not just fail to educate children; it even obstructs their education. The information on it lacks veritable scholastic quality because it is not filtered through the ordinary editing and publishing process of books and magazines. Moreover, the Internet has too many temptations...
Quickly jumping on the technological bandwagon, politicians call for "universal Internet access." The theory behind this is that those who don't have an e-mail address or web access are "disadvantaged"; they are Neanderthals in a rapidly evolving cyber-culture. And because none of us want our children to be "disadvantaged," the new rallying call becomes: "Quick! Get our children online! We don't want to them grow up without this all-too-important resource...
