Sports are pervasive in the United States. Every day images appear on television, through the Internet, on billboards, on the radio, and elsewhere, indicating the impact of sports on the lives of Americans. Sports stars are emulated, revered, and sometimes reviled, but they are always recognized and discussed. This basic pattern of sport and its involvement with Americans has been apparent for at least the past eighty-five years, since the end of World War I and the creation of a more “leisuretime” culture....

As a youth, I was exposed to football mania in northeastern Ohio. When I was seven, I read about the University of Illinois football team that played Army in the new municipal stadium in Cleveland. In the seventh grade, the boys in my class were photographed as the North Madison Grade School football team. Lacking the ability and time to play on the high school team, I described interscholastic games for the school newspaper. As a college freshman, I played in one game against the local seven-man high school team.

This morning I awoke, and behold the Norman was lying alongside a wharf at Capetown. I had expected it, and yet it was a shock. In this breathless age ten days out of sight of land is enough to make you a merman: I looked with pleased curiosity at the grass and the horses. After the surprise of being ashore again, the first thing to notice was the air. It was as clear--but there is nothing else in existence clear enough with which to compare it. You felt that all your life hitherto you had been breathing mud and looking out on the world through...

It is fitting that old men, even those whose trade is war, should end their days in peace, yet it galls me grievously to sit idly here by the fire, in this year of grace 1746, while great things go on in the world about me. The feeble hound at my feet, stretching his crippled limbs to the blaze, dreams of the chase, and bays delighted in his sleep. Nor can I do more than dream and meditate and brood. News of Fontenoy and the glory of Prince Maurice thrills my sluggish blood; again I taste the wild joys of conflict; the clashing steel, the battle...

Management consultant by day, major–league-baseball writer by night, I didn’t see the connection between my two jobs. Then came the day I witnessed a remarkably self-destructive client insist on a foolish decision—and in the evening watched the worst manager of post–World War II baseball destroy his team’s slender chances for the season with a boneheaded move hauntingly identical to my client’s.

Often while I have been studying the records of colonisation in the New World I have thought of you and your difficult work in Ireland; and I have said to myself, "What a time he would have had if he had been Viceroy of the Indies in 1493!" There, if ever, was the chance for a Department such as yours; and there, if anywhere, was the place for the Economic Man. Alas! there war only one of him; William Ires or Eyre, by name, from the county Galway; and though he fertilised the soil he did it with his blood and bones. A wonderful...

This project is the outcropping of work undertaken at two universities, Nottingham and Manchester: first at Nottingham, as a research student, next at Manchester as a lecturer and, finally, back at Nottingham as an academic. From my early days at Nottingham, I owe a debt of gratitude to my supervisors Nigel D.

World War I was truly one of the most tragic events of the twentieth century. The war began over a terrorist act in the provinces of the fading Austro-Hungarian Empire and could have been avoided if Germany, Russia, and France hadn’t felt compelled to obey secret treaties they had signed years before. Those secret treaties turned a small conflict into one that involved every major country in Europe and eventually many other nations from around the world.

project management is in large part about being responsible. today's high school and college programs rarely force young people to exert their discipline. most people say it is impossible for young adults to manage themselves. i do not agree. consider world war ii. people between the ages of 17 and 22 formed the bulk of the force that fought in the war. they were responsible for flying fighter planes, bombers, driving tanks, and steering ships. these are huge responsibilities. if they can do this so can you.
