The 'bicycle face' article gave me an idea. I recalled that back when i was first learning about professional bike racing, in the day of Merckx and Sean Kelly, a lot of the cycling press was about how the essence of the great tours and early season classics was to learn how to suffer; how their agony was an offering to the fans.

What photos do you think typify other sports?

Bert Trautmann died a year ago this coming week at age 98. He played the last 17 minutes of the 1956 FA Cup Final with a broken neck.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
