U2 AT THE SUPER BOWL

PATRICIA R. MOYNIHAN,

PATRICIA R. MOYNIHAN,

Sir, - I am always proud when the Irish excel, as they so often do, but never more so than at the Super Bowl on Sunday. There, at the greatest sporting event in the American calendar, were U2 giving a performance that would move stones.

Since September 11th, the entire US has been in shock. We feel horror and compassion for the victims and their families, but we don't know how best to express it. Suddenly, at half-time in the Super Bowl, we saw Bono singing his heart out as the names of all the victims of September 11th scrolled in a lighted backdrop behind him. I can tell you that everyone watching, both at the game and at home, was moved beyond words. - Yours, etc.,
