He "feels a mood coming on, a complicated self pity... the awful part is that he wallows in it. He knows how to find the twisty compensation in this business of losing, being a loser, drawing it out, expanding it, making it sickly sweet, being someone carefully chosen for the role." (Underworld 33)
"How the Helmet Conquered Football" coming 2027! Tho maybe I should have titled it "How the Helmet Conquered America"
