How
David Beats Goliath
“An untrained rabble,
most of whom have never fired a rifle.” But they were tough and they were
mobile. The typical Bedouin solider carried no more than a rifle, a hundred
rounds of ammunition, forty-five pounds of flour, and a pint of drinking water,
which meant that he could travel as much as a hundred and ten miles a day
across desert, even in summer. – sandwiching quote.
“Deliberation” just
prettifies the difficulties created by lag. The fed has to deliberate because
it’s several weeks behind, the same way the airlines has to bow and scrape and
apologize because it waited forty-five minutes to tell you something that it
could have told you the instant you stepped off the plane. – Grafting quote.
“We jumped out to a
thirteen-to-six lead, and it was a war the rest of the way,” Digger Phelps, the
Fordham coach at the time, recalls. “These were tough city kids. We played you
ninety-four feet. We knew that sooner or later we were going to make you
crack.” -Grafting quote.
