Mention of Ryun brings to mind other public servants or politicians
(characterize them as you will): Ralph Metcalfe and Mathias preceded Ryun
as members
Ollie Matson, Zeke Bonura, Willie Gault, Bob Hayes, Renaldo Nehemiah, Buddy
Davis (why not more highjumpers who made their way in basketball, by the

I feel a little hurt by what Mr. Jones says. For one thing, as I've told my
friend brother Hill, I mentioned the Gladwell piece on the list some weeks
ago. But it wasn't until some big shot like Hill mentioned it that anybody
paid attention. And, the other thing, the piece seemed to me not
