Show Notes

Sports fairly practiced—especially individual sports—are a great meritocracy revealing, for all the world to see, the beauty of excellence. In American history, sports have also been an arena for the working out of the great American principle of "liberty to all."

This episode is in memory of Patrick J. Garrity.
