A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Ask Dan Quayle. See what you can learn on your own by reading Dick Francis. Get away from today with Diana Gabaldon.

Judge for yourself if John McGraw could teach George Steinbrenner a few tricks of the game. If you think Mugsy knew Baseball, you should see how MIT professors could help your team. Best--or worst of all--Santayana could be right!!!
