...what America is all about. It is the uncrossed desert and the unclimbed ridge. It is the star that is not reached and the harvest sleeping in the unplowed ground. Is our world gone? We say farewell. Is a new world coming? We welcome it-and we will bend it to the hopes...
...ball valve is rougher on blood cells than nature's leaflet valves, so surgeons at the University of Wisconsin have developed butterfly valves of Teflon that come closer to the original in design. The demands on the plastic in such valves are tremendous: the leaflets must bend back and forth 40 million times a year. But so far, 39 patients have had them installed as replacements for aortic or mitral valves, and they are still working after as long as 20 months...

If it was spirit they wanted, spirit he gave them. At spring training he whipped out a letter written by a former Notre Dame player who had been seriously injured in an auto accident. Rockne couldn't have done it better. Voice quavering, Parseghian read the letter...
