    This is the greatest week in the history of the world since the Creation, because as a result of what happened in this week, the world is bigger, infinitely.

    The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker.
    Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)

    People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.
    Don Delillo (b. 1926)
