...remark is no idle comment−Player does not talk casually about his abilities−nor is he boasting. He is simply expressing the rock-solid self-confidence that has sustained him through 22 remarkable years on the tour and brought him 114 victories. This season may turn out to be the best of all. He is, to begin with, 42 years old, an age when most great golfers are faltering, if they have not already collapsed. At 42, Arnold Palmer, for example, won no tournaments on the circuit and fell from third to 25th in earnings. But despite...
...remark captures the essence of the man−enthusiasm, an admiration for excellence, and the complete confidence that he is right, that the horse really is the best in the world. At his age, Player still hopes to become the first golfer in history to win the modern Grand Slam−the Masters, the P.G.A. and the British and U.S. Opens−in the same year.

If, with any degree of writing skill and thematic continuity Emmerich employed in composing his statement, how did he jump from his "no evidence" criticism to a rather strong and unconfirmable remark of DeVore's politics. I am sure that Irven DeVore and the students who applauded his words that night in Science Center Lecture Hall B have as much "guilt" about inequalities existing in the world today as J. Wyatt Emmerich; and secondly, that Irven DeVore has served the process...
