Few men in Melbourne this week are really close, and his toughest competition will come from his own teammates, Ken Bantum (the only man to beat O'Brien in competition in the last four years) and Bill Nieder.

"Believers believe in God; ecclesiastics try to control believers. Believers are men of faith; ecclesiastics are politicians . . .
