Interesting choice of Bear Bryant for the quote that leads a book with Martin Luther King in the title. Bryant’s need to win games gave him first place over George Wallace in the pantheon of Alabama icons by changing the complexion of his teams. You can stand in the hallway but you don’t try to block the Crimson Tide.
Thanks, Guy. Glad to be associated with Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. I need to read The Vital Center, our troubles today are not nearly as different from those of his time as they seem on the surface.

Congratulations on a wonderful first chapter.

Thanks. Very interesting. I had no idea. Had to look up Crimson Tide. Glad to hear he topped Wallace, although Wallace did redeem himself in the end.
