NEVADA SENATE RACE
The `somebody nobody sent'
BY GEORGE F. WILL
LAS VEGAS -- Sometimes provocative people become that way because they were provoked. Sharron Angle, 60, could be enjoying the 10 grandchildren she loves even more than her .44 magnum.

An equal opportunity to cheer
Re the June 29 article Still looking to score: For the first time in many years I thought we were going to get through a major soccer tournament without a Miami Herald journalist giving us his uneducated and unworldly ``American perspective'' on the game. But then Glenn Garvin steps up. His tirade against a game played and loved on these shores and throughout the world showed not only his ignorance about the sport, but highlighted his arrogance.

A possible solution
While it was disappointing to read that the city of Miami's budget crisis could result in the closing of the Gusman Theater, it does create an opportunity. As the former director of development for the New World School of the Arts, I believe one possible solution to save the Gusman would be for the city to transfer ownership of the theater to NWSA as a new performance space for its dance, music and theater divisions.
