Back then when the U.S. got into trouble and Truman or Ike or Kennedy asked for help, Russell would gather up his 6-ft. frame, stick a forefinger into his somber vest and amble down those dim corridors to see if he could help his country. Everybody watching felt better when he arrived. There is something like that happening now to Senator Nunn. He trails a sense of reason and equilibrium on his journeys through the old Capitol's halls...
...become a completely different player than I was freshman year.”In making the transformation to an Ivy Player-of-the-Year-caliber force, Cusworth has largely overcome the issues that caused him to falter in the past several seasons. The 7’0 frame of Harvard’s big man was forced to bear a weighty burden of expectation for his Ivy impact immediately upon arrival, a burden that he was prevented from throwing off by an inability to stay healthy or display the inside dominance his physical size and skill-set demanded.

Within the frame of those interactions, the conversation among the maps spontaneously and continuously tells the "story" of our organism responding to and being modified by the environment. (The story is first told without words and is later translated into language when language becomes available, both in biological evolution and in every...
