I am a big Marvin Menzies fan, and I am so glad he was fired as UNLV basketball coach (Saturday Review-Journal). He gets to leave the cesspool of UNLV athletics, which has been degraded to an unrealistic and irrelevant football program, a basketball team that no one cares about and another inept athletic director better suited as a spokesperson/cheerleader than a leader.

I wish the next victim well, although it just doesn’t matter until they figure out they have to move to a lower football division and concentrate only on basketball. By the way, Villanova won the NCAA tournament last year. There is the model.

The United States should go to the top of the hill and ask Russia to pull out its troops, return all land (plus Crimea) it invaded while killing innocent people and make reparations for the destruction it brought to Ukraine.

LETTER: The loss of the penny
Paul R. Mills Las Vegas

I suggest that the change from every sales tax transaction ending with one, two, three or four cents — those pennies that we will not see — be delegated to go toward our national debt.
