After reading your report on the brawl involving basketball's Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons and courtside fans [Dec. 6], I realized that one word failed to make it into the story: respect. Would anyone else's reaction have been different from Pacers forward Ron Artest's after getting hit by a full cup of beer? Artest was made a scapegoat by the National Basketball Association.

...reaction to all this opting has already begun. There has been considerable consternation about the perils of opting out. Libertarian students collectively cursed current council President Matthew W. Mahan ’05 this summer when they had to go through so much trouble to opt-out of their termbill fees. Students and deans alike have griped that the wind power initiative will further the trend in termbill opting, leading to 18 pages of opt-options each year asking students to be “in” or “out” on everything from providing retractable...
