Brendan A. Maher, professor of the Psychology of Personality, waves equally enthusiastic about cross-country skiing. He and his wife learned the sport in Norway during his sabbatical. "It's testimony to my extraordinary ignorance of sking that I didn't even know there were two kinds. Now I am frightened by downhill skiing.
