...Shinzo Abe Thank you for your depressing report on the departure of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe [Sept. 24]. I appreciate his honesty, but regret his lack of political stomach. I hope the next Japanese leader will effectively stand tall on the international stage as well as over the chaotic domestic arena, riddled with so many problems. It's our sincere, but desperate, wish. Masaaki Otani Kagawa, Japan...
...What Would Jesus Censor? It is hard to believe that the TV academy yielded to the Catholic League and censored Kathy Griffin's Emmy Awards speech because she said she didn't thank Jesus Christ [Sept. 24].

First off, you forgot about your noble position as Interim Dean...
...message to my friends: Thank you for the e-mails and phone calls, the empathy and curiosity about how I've been handling the Hindenburgian flameout of my beloved baseball team, the New York Mets. I'm O.K. Really. I've been through worse... even though this was, well, awful beyond imagining. The losses-seven straight to the crude, macho Phillies, then 12 out of 17 down the stretch. The incessant errors. The pitchers throwing cantaloupes to hitters who didn't belong in the majors. The mental errors that weren't scored as errors. The feeling, in the end, that...
...simple thank you was what followed from Coen, but it all got me thinking: look at the unfiltered access afforded to us in the I-AA ranks, the kinds of things that never would happen at other schools. Weekly one-on-one meetings with the head coaches, rubbing shoulders with the opposing coaches from the rival league, even seeing assistants breaking bread in your very own dining hall...
