A Conversation with Eric Sondheimer
Who was the better quarterback: John Elway at Granada Hills or Jimmy Clausen at Oaks Christian? Who's the current "It" prep athlete in SoCal? (Hint: he plays basketball at Fairfax High.) What was the effect of Title IX on girls sports?
The L.A. Times' Eric Sondheimer, the dean of high-school sports journalists, has all the answers in an interview I conducted for the most recent edition of "SportsLetter," the online newsletter published by the LA84 Foundation. This month's SL also includes my interview with Stuart Taylor Jr., a columnist at the National Observer and the co-author of "Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case" (Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press).
