"...I want to wear that same uniform."

Becaus sometimes, reality is what it is, no matter what someone tries to say about it. The truth has a power that prevarication can't match.

Lopez Lomong is a pretty inspiring individual, and his is an awesome story, in which Thomas Boswell proves a couple of things:

1. The sports pages, which also see tons and tons of awful work, are about the last place left in the newspaper to regularly find really good and sometimes great news writing.

2. Nothing improves an awe-inspiring tale of human triumph like the addition of a well-thought-out "bite me" gesture offered to graceless authority.
