Scorer & Feeder. In a game where human skyscrapers usually grab the spotlight, the little O'Briens (5 ft. 9 in., 160 Ibs.) are a refreshing exception. Johnny is the scorer, Ed the "feeder." Playing on a team that specializes in an all-out "fire-horse" offense, Johnny is able to score with every kind of shot-hooks, jumps, tip-ins, lay-ups-and equally well with both hands. When Johnny is "double-teamed," i.e., when the defense guards him with two men, Ed, a deadeye long-range shooter, pops in baskets from the outside...

Otherwise, as he explained grandly: "The profound oblivion . . . descended on my name [is] the rational necessity of a historical situation imposed by destiny." In 1943, in his eighties, he presented himself to war-battered Sicily as a "heroic symbol" of Italian patriotism...
There are symbols in this present room, if one uses his imagination. The 300-year-old agba log from French Equatorial Africa is a symbol of man's dependence upon God for his material wellbeing. The spotlight focused on a bowl of white flowers is a symbol of the light of God by which the peace of the world will come. For some, the break in front of the entrance is a defense against evil spirits, who travel in straight lines and cannot, therefore, go around the corner to enter this room.
