In 1958 Mao observed: "Our country is so populous, it has such vast territory and abundant resources, a history of more than 4,000 years, and culture. But what a boast! We are not even as far advanced as Belgium. Our steel production is so low. So few people are literate. But now our nation is all ardor: there is a fervent tide. Our nation is like an atom.

...some rest and recuperation. "I've been doing 100 sit-ups a day," says Arnie. "Every so often I get a twinge in my hip, but it's not enough to affect my swing. I'm hitting the ball as well as I ever have, even to the point where I can now drive head to head with Jack...
