The president Thanks for the useful information. And thanks to a few other followups that have made me aware I've acquired a certain reputation here... The sports section of the paper is the only one I don't read, incidentally. All it is is victory, defeat, and knee injuries, right? I do read the occasional sports article that makes it to the front page, as well as some in the NYT Sunday magazine. My mention of "no background" information in the story in this case was not to imply that I thought the Times was being coy, but to indicate my humility (humiliation?) at not knowing something that obviously was common knowledge.
