...drove the length of the field in the closing seconds to shock Yale and tie for the Ivy title. In his senior year, they beat the Elis at the Yale Bowl to win it outright. On track, he threw the discus, the shot, the hammer and the 35-lb. weight. The field contingent of the track team, in the Jiggetts days, was simply devastating. You just couldn't beat...

...high as I could go at Burke, I wasn't going to ever be better than some of those people. I'd given serious skiing a shot there.

...took an approach entirely different from Newton. The 17th century master had noted what seemed to be a remarkable coincidence: gravity acted in the same way on all bodies, regardless of their mass. That could be shown by an apocryphal experiment of Galileo's in which objects of different weight dropped from the Tower of Pisa were said to strike the ground at virtually the same instant (any difference being due to air resistance). Einstein offered an explanation. Acceleration caused by gravity, he said, is indistinguishable from that caused by other forces. I That proposition is Einstein's 1 principle...
