Carlo had learned enough about the Harvard mystique to take offense at that one, Whaddaya mean what's special he shot back, moving into the type of diatribe they would have loved to hear up at Byerly Hall. You're looking at the oldest-collgein America with the finest-facultyanywhere and thebest-studentbodyaround. It's the people who are important he argued, slowing down a bit as he noticed the cords standing out in Lou's neck, which was purple.

Erving, Simpson and Morgan are the finest athletes in their sports, men of huge physical gifts, with great dedication to the honing of their arts and remarkable mental and emotional resiliency under pressure. They have much in common, most obviously that they are black. As superstars nonpareil, they are both inheritors and exemplars-the legatees of black athletes whose greatness moldered in Jim Crow obscurity, and the new idols of American sports culture...
