hemingway again

[jd]

Yeah, Hemingway ended up being a good boxer and fisherman, but in high
school he was a football flop apparently.  I personally have an
affinity for his writing (Gaddis' condemnation of Old Man and the Sea
doesn't sway me to hate it along with him)... it's just interesting to
consider that his younger years were filled with events that really
demasculinized him.
