...authority lies with the national chairman. He appoints 34 (an absolute majority) of the 67-member executive committee. He chooses all members to the convention's committees of resolutions. The number of delegates per state is disproportionate to either population or YR membership. And most important, no one can clamp restraints upon the national chairman and his executive committees during the two years between conventions.

"I like to throw overhand, but if I'm being...
...does Seymour catch the ball? "It all depends on how high it is. But I like to get the ball in close to my body and clamp on it"-one hand on top of the ball, the other underneath. Where does Jim prefer the pass to reach him? "Anywhere but low. I don't like to catch it down low, because my face mask hinders me." How does Seymour handle the defensive man guarding him?
