...opportunity this summer to visit the Heidelberg Project and found myself standing in the middle of the street in awe of the beauty before me. The thousands of used shoes (soles) represent all the lost souls in Purgatory hoping for mankind's prayers to help them ascend to heaven. Guyton's polka-dot theme is seen everywhere, sending the message "I don't care what race you are, if you are black or white or even polka dot, God's love sees no colors."

Almost from the time that Cus D'Amato, his onetime trainer-father figure-psychic engineer, found him in upstate New York, the larger world has tried to put into some kind of balance the feelings Tyson inspires: awe, admiration, pity, disappointment, fear and loathing. By the time the sportswriters, columnists and comics were done with him last week, the balance was tipped against him more completely than ever.
