To the editor:
We write to point out some inaccuracies in your recent report on the 2007 Cardozo Cup, “3Ls win Cardozo.” Your reporter must not have attended the tournament. If she had, she would know that winner of the faculty/student game is not “still undetermined.” The faculty/staff team was in fact administering a hearty drubbing to the student all-star team when the game was interrupted. Just as our slugger, Professor Huss, picked up a bat and approached the plate, the lights went out. Res ipse loquitur. Obviously the student all-stars cut the lights in an attempt to spare themselves further humiliation at the hands of the faculty, staff and assorted ringers. The student all-stars voluntarily forfeited the game.
It is a shame that the majority of the article focused on what was in fact, an irrelevant consolation match between 2Ls and 3Ls (the “L” in this case standing for “losers”). It follows that your headline, “3Ls win Cardozo,” is incorrect, notwithstanding the photo you published of cowardly 3Ls holding up the purloined Cup after the faculty and staff had all left the park and returned to their usual pursuits — devoting their lives to serving our students. There is no need for you to issue a retraction or an apology. All that is called for is the prompt delivery of one cup-shaped trophy, inscribed “Cardozo Cup.”
With the punctilio of an honor the most sensitive,
