~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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. If

Find your ancestors. Learn what Longshanks really did to William Wallace.
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

Teach yourself to surf the information highway. And don't forget the poets...
If you have read a good
lately, or have comments or suggestions,
