...Quixote of Darfur" [Nov. 12]: Luis Moreno-Ocampo helped prosecute the worst criminals in the history of my native Argentina, an unimaginable task that would have cost him his life only a few months earlier. But your article's title seemed to imply that Moreno-Ocampo, now prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, is engaged in acts of futility. Don Quixote fought imaginary enemies represented by windmills, while Moreno-Ocampo is fighting the world's worst real enemies: those who commit crimes against humanity. We should cherish the unparalleled moral clarity of Moreno-Ocampo, who provides stark contrast...
Your article on male circumcision didn't mention the protective, sensory and sexual functions of the foreskin [Nov. 12].

The one that got away was, according to Richter, a power-play goal that he didn’t see until the last minute when it “just snuck in.” “We were under a lot of pressure, but Kyle was huge...
...just days out from the Nov. 24 election, it's looking increasingly like the fellow right-winger whom President George W. Bush called his "Man of Steel" has, at the age of 68, taken on one locomotive too many. The Government remains six points behind Labor in the opinion polls, and bookmakers are offering long odds on a last-minute turnaround...
