irst came the tingling feeling in his feet and toes, but soon there was no feeling at all. Not long after that, he couldn't stand or walk. He feels nothing from his rib cage down. Even after all the hospitals and all the tests, though, doctors can't tell Jeff Wagner for sure why this is happening. ...more

USF's Walker Has Chance To Do Some Good Brett McMurphy's well-written article about Walter Walker standing up to remove the 'N' word from the locker room has moved me to suggest a real opportunity to do some good in the community is at hand ('USF's Walker Tackles Use Of N-Word In Locker Room,' Oct. 17).
