    “Religion stands on tiptoe in our land,
    Ready to pass to the American strand.”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    “In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
