To our readers

Today's is the last "Sporting Scene" column. Douglas S. Looney is leaving the Monitor staff. Over the past three years, Doug has written witty, provocative columns on a wide variety of sports and sports people.

Almost immediately upon joining the staff in 1998, he dashed to Nagano, Japan, for the Winter Olympics. He covered the recent Sydney Olympics copiously and colorfully. We wish him all the best.
