Jackson has many speaking voices - from hard street (almost incomprehensible to the white ear) to a high, southern-preacherly eloquence (school of Martin Luther King Jr.) to the most sophisticated corporate mellowspeak, as smooth and fancy...
...next weekend at Williams, Myers again led the Crimson Alpine skiers in the slalom with a 45th-place finish, and skied to 46th place in the giant slalom, also a Harvard best. At the Eastern Championships held at Middlebury in late February, Myers' 59th-place finish in the giant slalom put him at the top of Harvard's finishers list for the third straight week...
