Enlightenment and the DMV

I am in the debt of the state of Virginia. This past Saturday morning, at 8:30 a.m., I had the exhilarating opportunity to attend a driver improvement clinic in a luxurious conference room of the Holiday Inn on Route 29.

IN 1972 a total of 29,992 women participated in college sports. By 2001, the number of women athletes was more than five times that at 150,916, according to a Chronicle of Higher Education study ("Title IX at 30," June 21). No doubt such a dramatic increase in the number of athletes has had a positive effect on the quality of women's sports and, through also-growing scholarships, on the opportunities available to women in education.
