Less sports?

To the editor:

I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiments expressed in the Saturday Column, Feb. 2, that “Attention to athletics exceeds far more significant matters.” May I therefore assume, since the writer is the editor of the Lawrence Journal-World, that from now on we shall see in this newspaper much more prominent and detailed coverage of local, national and world events of real importance and a significant reduction in paper space devoted to local and national sports coverage? Or will this commentary prove to be just empty words.

Charles Wyttenbach,
