...what could be interpreted as some ominous undercurrents. Atta could get exercised by the world's shortcomings, big and small. He spoke out impulsively against injustice. He was so sensitive that he could become emotional if an insect was killed. "He was a little bit pure," says Khaled Kattan, another classmate. "If he thought that I said or did something wrong, then he would say that in front of anybody...
...Mohammed was an incredible human being," says Iman Ismail in a tearful voice. "Maybe I was the closest to him in our class. He could not have a black spot in his character.

Judging by English experience, training in American colleges covers a period unnecessarily long; and athletics are taken too much as hard work and not enough as genuine pleasure. In England men go into athletics primarily for pure sport, and are not inclined to overestimate the value of victory, as we are. We should also learn from the English to keep our games the same from year to year, without attempting to vary them by new and tricky plays which have to be practiced in secret behind high...
