Favorite Book: "A Man Must Fight" by Gene Tunney

"Man has fought from the beginning of time--he will fight till the end of time. Tunney's autobiography is as rare as it is wonderful. Only 550 copies were printed in the first edition, but I'll always remember the impact--like a punch--this book has had upon me."
