I've posted a link to this footage before, but there's no reason to avoid posting it again:

He still holds the record for the mile-and-a-half distance, thirty-five years later. Superlative.

Amazing every time you watch it. --jdm

It has to be the best single performance by any athlete ever, if we count horses as athletes, which we should.

Great to hear from you again, BTW. I went to a going-away party for Roger Bowen this evening and Deborah White Stanley and Sean Cobb were there, which reminded me of that class again.

Easily one of my favorite classes ever, as it managed to be intellectually demanding, socially relevant, and just damn good fun at the same time. We had it in that weird dungeon room, but other than that it was just good times.

Glad to hear that Sean and Deborah are around; I hope they're doing well. I miss AZ. --jdm

A favorite memory here too. Sean is leaving soon -- he got a job in Minnesota -- and Deb left a few years back for a job in Indiana. She was visiting for a bit.
