     Unlike most American Jews, I do not get my information about current
     Jewish events from Sports Illustrated or People Magazine.  The basketball
     scandal has had extensive coverage in the Israeli press (which I read).
     I refer anyone interested in the details to these newspapers.

     The incident that you quoted with John Irving is more complicated than the
     Sports Illustrated article implied.  Not only that, it wasn't the only
     such incident.  The scandal with Alsi Perry was even more tragic, and
     more unfortunate.
