Fans can spread their admiration

grand OF game, as vet. They can
sing their praises loudly, tell the
world that he's a man: they can
boast they know him, proudly; all
of that, that's what they can.
But the dope from inside circles
on the game of all the games, is
what really makes the idols and

your life be as you'd like 1t, could
you smile and stand the gaff? Could
you meet your worldly troubles,
fight them out and merely laugh?
Not a chance" says Walter

he's won. Ask the vets who once
