To An Athlete Dying Young

  Italy has had more than its share of troubles lately, and this past weekend did not help.  Much of the population was witness to a modern tragedy: a much loved, much recognized soccer player died suddenly, almost in mid stride during a game that was televised nationally.  It was difficult to watch, as an eyewitness.  The young man Piermario Morosini was felled by a heart attack.  The shock was universal.  National networks siezed the drama and projected the image endlessly for hours.
   The story is more involved and deserves much time and explanation.  More later.
