“ I am pulling for for a sixth all-Williams Grand Slam final. I hope they play a great three-set match that will go down in tournament history. While the tennis press is quick to frame Roger Federer’s achievements in historical terms, and the golf press tracks Tiger Woods’ historic dominance, the Williams sisters are seldom discussed as historical figures in the history of their sport. After more than a decade of stellar tennis, a celebration of their historic careers is long overdue. Perhaps an all-Williams final at this year’s Wimbledon will prompt a discussion of what could rightfully be described as the “Williams Era. „

“ Here, even now, aged Chinamen sit around on boxes in front of stores. Many of them toothless. They articulate with clear and positive understanding. They talk about the past. When they get deep into their subjects, they are experts in spitting long distances and never failing to hit the mark. They make a point, with emphasis. They are a veritable “Knowledge Box.” They are INFORMATION. “Young men for war; old men for wisdom.” Ask them a question, if you are a Chinaman, you get an answer; but if you are an American, they stare at you in blank ignorance—but not so ignorant as you think. The older men argue, crack their fists, become vehement; but some of them have never found their way to Pershing Square. They claim to have eaten far more “salt” than young men ever ate; salt, in their dialect, means knowledge gained by experience. „
