djs - I agree 100% with wanting knowledge of an author and his background and the helpfulness that knowledge provides in putting his thoughts into perspective. I refuse to "appreciate" the abilities of athletes as an entity separate from their qualities as a human being. I hold writers (as I do everyone else) to the same standard of not separating the person from his work. Best, John

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
