Your reporter's oversimplification of my position on the warrantless wiretap issue [“Prof defends Bush wiretaps,” Courts & Crime News, April 11] is an embarrassment to us both. I spent close to 90 minutes on the phone with her trying to be helpful, and your readers deserve better than what you published.

Driving needs On behalf of Senior Center, Inc. I want to clarify our position on the Hillsdale Road Project [“Hillsdale Could Spur New Building,” Development News, April 11].

Recent studies suggest that, in accordance with customary local belief, the world does indeed revolve around Charlottesville. We’re not too big, not too small; not too wholesome, not too seedy; not too hot, not too cold. In the words of Outside magazine, Charlottesville is one of those “dream towns that have it all.” Only one […]

On the right track Thanks for shedding light on an obscure, but wonderful sport [“Run for your life,” May 4]. What sets ultrarunning apart from marathons and triathlons is that it is a sport where your finishing time and mile splits don’t really matter. The ultimate challenge is to finish what you started, whether it’s […]
