I found the marathon essay pedantic and uninspired: nothing revealing to me in the essay about running, exhaustion, pushing on. Obviously, others have a 180. However, http://web.mit.edu/zrich/www/project/index.htm is an incredible essay. Someone like I have never known is revealed with words and in images that entirely describe the subject in visual terms. This student needs to be moved to head of the line. 0.02 Don dorysrus@mindspring.com -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+dorysrus=mindspring.com@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+dorysrus=mindspring.com@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of B.
