    I’m planning to write ala the contest. How can I ever lose? I know more about history than history itself…..that’s my Gary, Indiana, upbringing. Basketball is a piece of cake. I guarantee the stuff I write will will take me right to the Nobel Piece Prize, as well as into Claude Johnson’s pocket book.
