Story omission was unintentional
Reader: Where was the story in Thursday's paper about Wednesday's leg of the Tour de France? I've searched the Sports section four times. Believe me, that would be far more interesting than the feature article on sports mascots. I'm an 80-year-old female still avidly interested in one of the world's premier sporting events. The athleticism of the riders, the gamesmanship, the drama is world class. The drug scandal report has been released by Spanish authorities. Where is the story?

Thanks for the World Cup stories. I'm all for the big press given to NASCAR, etc. However, country folk like me are a lot more sophisticated than 20 or 40 years ago. Please give me a daily dose of the Tour. Thank you.

Now I owe you thanks for a terrific newspaper -- including a terrific Sports section. I'm very proud of it.

-- Marian McBride

Executive Editor Mike Jenner: Thanks for your kind words, Marian. I spoke with sports editors and the omission of the Tour story Thursday was an oversight that won't happen again.
