I wish I could write like this…
Sally Jenkins
story at the Post, comparing Phelp and Usain Bolt amazing feats at the 2008 Olympics highlights the many ways one can win or write. Where for some of us natural endowment plays a part in how we fare in life while for others it is an extended 8 year plan with discipline that reduces our behavior to sheer performance. Doesn’t matter if you are an athlete or an entrepreneur, if you would like to win, the Sally Jenkins piece is a must read.
Ms. Jenkins piece illustrates how two unrelated events, two Olympians and 10 medals can be combined to create a great human interest story.

Unfortunately, neither NBC nor the Post appear to agree, both having expired the links. Would be nice to know where it is cached – a look via Google only brought back the expired links.
Well, the wonders of web searches and cached pages. Yes, it is a nice article.
As for brother Vic:
‘They seek him here, they seek him there
Those d***ed Frenchies seek him everywhere,
Is he in heaven, is he in h*ll?
That d***ed reclusive Vic won’t tell’
(with apologies to Baroness Orczy)
Thank you brother vic.
If memory serves me right, aren’t these the infamous lines from the Scarlet Pimpernel.
