New sports website in L.A.

The Amateur Athletic Foundation's Sports Letter, which ceased publication in 2001, is back as a web-only newsletter. It's a nice-looking roundup of items from the sports world, some local and some international. It's about trends, not scores and jock stories, and includes interviews with Keith Olberman and Michael Shapiro, author of The Last Good Season: Brooklyn, the Dodgers and Their Final Pennant Race Together. There are also citations to academic journals, among them to a piece called Nudism in Nazi Germany: Indecent behaviour or physical culture for the well-being of the nation in the International Journal of the History of Sport. The Sports Letter up now is labeled June 2003 but the sub-head admits "published when we feel like it." The AAF of Los Angeles, on Adams Boulevard, is the group that got the money left over from the 1984 Olympics.
