WRESTLING ELEPHANTS

By Jamie Brisick

SOMEONE STRANGELY ENFRANCHISED, UNTAMED, UNTRAMMELLED BY CONVENTION

"The world looks with some awe upon a man who appears unconcernedly indifferent to home, money, comfort, rank, or even power and fame. The world feels not without a certain apprehension, that here is someone outside its jurisdiction; someone before whom its allurements may be spread in vain; someone strangely enfranchised, untamed, untrammelled by convention, moving independent of the ordinary currents of human action." 
     -Winston Churchill, politician and statesman (1874-1965)
