There is a progression ordsprog

en There is a progression of understanding vis-a-vis pro football that varies drastically with the factor of distance -- physical, emotional, intellectual and every other way. Which is exactly the way it should be, in the eyes of the amazingly small number of people who own and control the game, because it is this finely managed distance factor that accounts for the high-profit mystique that blew the sacred institution of baseball off its ''national pastime'' pedestal in less than fifteen years.

en Baseball hasn't been the national pastime for many years now - no sport is. The national pastime, like it or not, is watching television.

en The most interesting part of all long-distance trails is that there is a group of people that for some reason decide to hike from Georgia to Maine or Mexico to Canada for three months, four months, six months - and there's that mystique of, why do people do this? I tried to show that in the program that I did. That's probably the most intriguing aspect of all long-distance hiking from other people's perspectives.

en I remember watching a summer baseball game in Gorham a few years back. Off in the distance there was a kid on the schoolyard court. It was Jeff. He started to grow in high school. He's filled out a little but he still has a slight build.

en Every year we watch as distance becomes less of a factor.

en Just as a number of factors drove the polls down, several different factors are driving them up. The more specific and more measured discussion of Iraq is a factor, the continuing good news on the economy is a factor, and declining gas prices is a factor.

en Their manager gives them that X factor. Because he will do anything. He's a real factor in any game and really has earned his reputation as baseball's best manager. It's really a lot going on all the time.

en We do still think weather was a factor, so it could be a factor this time around. But the important thing about our bid is we've got the advantage of having all the venues in physical proximity of each other. . . . So I think that should overcome any concerns people have about the weather. . . . The ice storm really was an anomaly.

en That's a big factor, the recruiting factor and being able to state that we have the highest average attendance and what a great building it is to play in. The other thing that it does is, for our guys, they (the fans) become a factor in the game. We can feed off the energy that they give us.

en MAGNITUDE, n. Size. Magnitude being purely relative, nothing is large and nothing small. If everything in the universe were increased in bulk one thousand diameters nothing would be any larger than it was before, but if one thing remain unchanged all the others would be larger than they had been. To an understanding familiar with the relativity of magnitude and distance the spaces and masses of the astronomer would be no more impressive than those of the microscopist. For anything we know to the contrary, the visible universe may be a small part of an atom, with its component ions, floating in the life- fluid (luminiferous ether) of some animal. Possibly the wee creatures peopling the corpuscles of our own blood are overcome with the proper emotion when contemplating the unthinkable distance from one of these to another.
