...their own profligacy by shackling the players, who are threatening to strike. The Yankees have promised to pay Dave Winfield something like $20 million for ten years of play. Angell mourns: "The top salary figures, whatever their explanation, are beyond ignoring and beyond rational defense, for they deform and shame the sport...
...shame that Emerson had to harden into a monument, into mere required reading, or worse, the man superseded by Kurt Vonnegut on the course lists. Too many generations came to regard him as a chill, gnomic bore, the best of American aphorists, no doubt, but also the most relentless ("A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds," "Traveling is a fool's paradise," "... fired the shot heard round the world," and even the 1960s' dreamy license, "Do your thing").
