MacLeish, one of America's greatest poets, confronts The Question of human existence, exploring the outer limits of love, pain, faith, endurance. He miraculously brings to the stage the Bible's undramatic, intellectual Book of Job. By metamorphosing the Old Testament's prosperous landowner into a New England millionaire named J.B., MacLeish makes Job's bizzare ordeal relevant to a twentieth-century audience.

...relieves the pain and swelling of arthritis, heals burns, soothes toothaches, eases headaches and muscle strains, and clears up viral, fungal and bacterial infections.

Yet after the race, he admitted that--like Kristof--his view of the race was somewhat romanticized...
Scott McLeod '80 also was overcome by pain as he walked the last 8.5 miles before sprinting the final 200 yards to notch a time of 4:45. A defensive end on the varsity football team, McLeod caught the running bug from his roommate, Thad McNulty, former captain of the cross-country team, and from the football team's 12-minute running drills. After three years of wanting to run, McLeod was determined to make it this year, and began training as soon as exams ended in January. Shedding 15 lbs. from his 6-ft. 1-in., 175-lb. football...
