Letters

While I don't doubt that cheerleading takes strength, conditioning and athletic ability, it is merely a glorified extracurricular activity. Any time judges determine a winner (unless you have two people pounding each other for 12 rounds), that activity is a mere exhibition.

Bubba's Brackets

Hillary Clinton wants America to believe she's ready to lead "on Day One," but she defers to her husband to make her Final Four picks (Players, March 31)? What's next? "Honey, could you answer that phone?"
Anne Shure, Huntertown, Ind.

Chair Lift

In light of Bob Knight 's being hired by ESPN (Players, March 31), I was wondering: Are the chairs on the set bolted down?
Norm Shirk, Rockford , Ill.

Honor Student

In your story on Davidson's Stephen Curry (Shooting Star, March 31), I found it odd that you placed so much importance on his returning a wallet that he had found. Do we have to bestow heroic status on an athlete just for being a decent person? This is a statement on the modern-day sports figure, that we need to prove that all of them are not self-serving, unethical people.
Joseph A. Weimann, Oakdale, Minn.
